Mañana

It was one of those days when I used to say,
‘One of these days now – I mustn’t delay –
must mend that pump before it sticks’
– that was the day it broke, too bust to fix.

It was one of those days when I used to say,
‘One of these days now – I mustn’t delay –
must visit my Mum, she’s not far away’
– that was the day that they phoned to say …

It was one of those days when I used to say,
‘One of these days now – I mustn’t delay –
must point those bricks in the garden wall'
– that was the day I heard them fall …

It was one of those days when I used to say,
‘One of these days now – I mustn’t delay –
I really should just stop and pray'
– that was the day I passed away.
