I Read A Lot - Nick Lowe

I read a lot, nowadays

Much more than before you left me high and dry

In a loveless land

With nothing but time on my hands

I read a lot, not just magazines

But other more serious things, to get me through the day

Nighttime too

Whilst wondering how in the world to go on without you

«Lonely» isn’t the word for me now

«Blue» doesn’t describe it somehow

I read a lot, I can’t put it down

While others are painting the town, you’ll find me in a world

Of fantasy

Population: one.

That’s me

So if you ask me how I stop

Contemplating what I now have not

I’ll reply

I read a lot
