The Calendar - The Dø

Monday some sort of gentleman

Came knocking at my door

To offer me garments and jewels.

He made me dress up like a princess

Then gave me the bill.

At least I knew what to wear for you.

Tuesday went to an old lady

With half her teeth missing

Who could see my future quite clear.

She grabbed my hand and opened it

And placed something in.

«Keep it close 'til it burns"she said.

Saturday and Sunday

I know you’ll be in town

Behind the curtain

I’m learning my lines

And I’ll make sure feelings don’t show, oh, oh.

Wednesday I decided

I should learn something new

Like a language or a dance I could boast.

I worked harder and harder

As my only goal

Was to make a better impression on you dear.

Thursday by the harbor

I questioned the sea

«Will I ever visit that man?»

The sky filled with heavy clouds

That fills my eyes with tears

I had to run back home and cry.

Saturday and Sunday

I know you’ll be in town

Behind the curtain

I’m learning my lines

And I’ll make sure feelings don’t show, oh, oh.

Friday I was on my way

To see a fine friend.

I couldn’t care less of my looks.

There was no one I could cross here

I strolled with no fear

When I found myself face to face with you.

Saturday and Sunday

I knew you’d be in town

But it’s Friday night

Oh you took me off my guard

Saturday and Sunday

My dresses all drop down

My arms started burning

And I spoke a funny tongue

Friday hasn’t started

The clocks all stop turning

Forgot all my skills

And my lines I had better to learn

Much better to learn
