lyrics

(two chairs)

He bought one chair in April at a roadside sale
Just one, for reading, and I didn't think a thing
And then in June there quietly appeared a second
Same wood, same green, no comment, no announcing

Two chairs, two chairs (two chairs)
He never said a word, two chairs
Just put it there and let me find it, two chairs
Two chairs

Two chairs, two chairs, two chairs, two chairs
A man who cannot say it buys a chair
Two chairs, two chairs, two chairs, two chairs
And that is how I knew, in June, two chairs

(key change up)
I asked him in December why he never said.
He said the first one was a question, and the second was the answer,
and he'd assumed that I was fluent. Reader, I was.

Two chairs, two chairs, two chairs, two chairs
A man who cannot say it buys a chair
Two chairs, two chairs, two chairs, two chairs
And that is how I knew, in June, two chairs

(two chairs...)
