Often Is a Word I Seldom Use (Live) lyrics by John Prine

Verse 1
Know that you’re sad, know that you’re lonely
You lie awake ‘til way past when
Want you to know that I’m leaving you only
‘Cause I might not get the chance again

Chorus
Cold and I’m tired and I can’t stop coughing
Long enough to tell you all of the news
I’d like to tell you that I’ll see you more often
Often is a word I seldom use
Often is a word I seldom use

Bridge
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Went like thunder, felt likе snow
Went like thunder, fеlt like snow

Verse 2
You must think my life’s a circus
Watching me laughing and slapping my thighs
How’d you like to die in the house of mirrors
With nobody around to close your eyes?

Chorus
Cold and I’m tired and I can’t stop coughing
Long enough to tell you all of the news
I’d like to tell you that I’ll see you more often
Often is a word I seldom use
Often is a word I seldom use

Bridge
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Tell me, where did the weekend go?
Went like thunder, felt like snow
Went like thunder, felt like snow

Verse 3
Going down to the Greyhound station
Going back home and get what’s mine
Got me a date with the ten o’clock special
Gonna be there at a quarter to nine

Chorus
Cold and I’m tired and I can’t stop coughing
Long enough to tell you all of the news
I’d like to tell you that I’ll see you more often
Often is a word I seldom use
Often is a word I seldom use
Often is a word I seldom use
