"I Read A Lot" lyrics - NICK LOWE

I read a lot, nowadays
Much more than before you left me high and dry
In a loveless land
With nothing but time on my hands

I read a lot, not just magazines
But other more serious things, to get me through the day
Nighttime too
Whilst wondering how in the world to go on without you

"Lonely" isn't the word for me now
"Blue" doesn't describe it somehow

I read a lot, I can't put it down
While others are painting the town, you'll find me in a world
Of fantasy.
Population: one. That's me

So if you ask me how I stop
Contemplating what I now have not
I'll reply
I read a lot
