Another Small Thing in Her Favour Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Got her ducks all in a row
Got her bags all packed to go
She′ll find some other poor pilgrim who's braver
At least she looked me in the eye
With her less than fond goodbye
That′s one small thing in her favour

Got the kids in the car
Dreams will get you just so far
Then life gives you bitter pills to savour
Still she kissed me once more
As she gently slammed the door
That's another small thing in her favour


She said she felt bad
For the home that we had
And the effort I'd wasted to save her
She told me as much
As she slowly let out the clutch
That′s another small thing in her favour

It′s a slippery slope
To give her more rope
And I didn't exactly enslave her
And she says I′m still a part
Of her wandering heart
That's another small thing in her favour

Now there′s trouble and strife
But we once had a life
For a while our vows didn't waver
I relied on her smile
And her love, for a while
That′s another small thing in her favour

That's another small thing in her favour
