I rearranged the furniture
While you read me the riot act
I counted the pints on the doorstep
While you told me the things I lacked
I drove you nearly mad with rage
As I sat and quietly tore the page
Into tiny little pieces
Whilst you held centre stage
Chorus:
Half listening my mind is far away
Half listening half an ear on what you say

I contemplated the garden
And the plants that I'd like to grow
While you shrieked about the business
And how little they all know
I tidied up the garden shed
Whilst you called me a dunderhead
Not a thought you left unsaid
As I pondered quietly

I know your doubts I know your fears
I know your laughter and your tears
Together we've come through all these years
And I love you as you are
Half listening your mind if far away
Half listening half an ear on what I say
