歌詞

The chapter ended on a cliff

And left me hanging there

The author knew exactly what

They did with that last line

I gasp, I glare, I check the clock

The clock says: one more's fine

The kettle hears the situation

And volunteers a refill

One more chapter, one more cup

The classic reader's bargain

His mercies are new every morning

And chapters every margin

The lamb wakes at my little gasp

Alarmed on my behalf

I show the page, it blinks twice, then

It sighs a woolly laugh

We both know how tonight will go:

One more, and one more, and —

One more chapter, one more cup

The classic reader's bargain

His mercies are new every morning

And chapters every margin

The finest trap was ever laid

By ink on quiet paper

And readers walk in willingly

With tea and a teacake caper

Mmm... mmm... mmm

One more chapter, one more cup

The classic reader's bargain

His mercies are new every morning

And chapters every margin

One more chapter, one more cup

The classic reader's bargain

His mercies are new every morning

And chapters every margin

The chapter ended on a cliff

I brought a cup and stayed
