Songtext Anticipation Clifford T. Ward

Anticipation

I don't think that I've ever had a warmer experience than

The time you came round for tea and stayed much later than

You anticipated; oh, but you were shy

So we drank a little and talked a lot, an' then we drank some more

And you laughed a little an' drank a lot and said you'd like some more.

And much later when decent folk are safely tucked in bed

We were dancing round and round, a spinning top for my head

I anticipated what would happen next

But you drank a little and talked a lot, an' then you drank some more

And you laughed a little and drank a lot and went to sleep on the floor.

I anticipated what would happen next

But you drank a little and talked a lot, an' then you drank some more

And you laughed a little an' drank a lot and went to sleep on the floor

Went to sleep on the floor

Went to sleep on the floor

Went to sleep on the floor

Went to sleep on the floor

(Repeat and fade).
