Gentlemen

We never met, you and I

We were always inside, we were somewhere inside

one another. And I'll live without you love,

but what good is one glove, without the other?

Still, you only ask about my leaving,

well but honey I had no choice, so

I call and (when you hear that heavy breathing)

for that sound of your voice.

But you sit there silent, folded arms

And look down as I walk by

My face has changed, you know it's me

You know by the stillness in my eyes.

Come and whisper in my ear,

"You're very pretty, dear" and, and,

"it'll be alright."

You're lying!

But I don't mind tonight.

So I wander and I wander

Your absence beating inside my chest

I try but I can't remember

The color of your eyes, just the shape of your dress!

And through a garden overgrown...

Oh, it's a long walk home!

I said I'd not come back, well I'm coming back!

(And you'd better be alone.)

Sit there silent, folded arms

As you smile, as I walk by

My face has shamed, but you know it's me,

You know it's me!

Come and whisper in my ear, my dear!

My dear!

It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

It'll be al--No!

No!
