Why'd you pour the cream and sugar in my coffee
About these cigarettes I don't believe they're mine
Could I be standing in the shadow of a stranger
More and more I see these scattered tell tale signs

There were tear stains on your pillow again this morning woman
But your problem girl is someone on your mind
I'm afraid to come home early without warning
More and more I see these scattered tell tale signs

Someone else besides myself knows the direction
To the sweetest thing that once was mine alone
Somebody else holds the key to my possession
Lord, I've lost the only treasure I've ever known

The telephone it's ringing I'll get it darling
But I know there'll be no answer on the line
Just the presence of the silence of a stranger
Cause more and more I see these scattered tell tale signs
Yes more and more I see these scattered tell tale signs
