VERSE ONE
Lifeless, my love
Your blonde hair in tangles
Fatherâs in the hall
Mouth open wide
Why did she go?
I donât know!
Did she leave you alone?
She left a noteâ¦
At least she was at peace
When her hand penned the last line
Bloodless pink
Feather-light
Why did she go?
I donât know!
Did she leave you alone?
I supposeâ¦
CHORUS
So I goâ¦into the sea
Donât wait for me, no
I will not be returning
VERSE TWO
As soon as I can move
Iâll go to meet her in the next life
Paperâs on the stoop
The ink is barely dry
Why did she go?
I donât know!
Can you still feel her soul?
I feel her ghostâ¦
There beside the bed
I held her head to my chest
Tight?
As tight as any man
Could bear to make his hands
Why did she go?
I donât know!
Will you fare on your own?
I fear I wonâtâ¦
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
The longest goodbye
Just a face on the A-train
From old St. Markâs
Out to the Rockaways
Why did she go?
I donât know!
The stars too, implode
I supposeâ¦
CHORUS
In the fiercest fire of the soul
The golden lotus still grows
Underneath the leaning sky
Canât you see the leaning sky?
Lifeless, my love
Your blonde hair in tangles
Fatherâs in the hall
Mouth open wide
