Softly, watch me give away myself
I’ll behave neatly like a boy to war
Tie a ribbon for me tightly
Goodbye to my friends and family evermore
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
Somewhere where you cannot reach me,
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
And now you can be my master and commander
I love but don’t understand her
Softly, tell me things I want to hear
And I won’t ask for answers that are hard to tell
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
Somewhere where you cannot reach me,
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
And now you can be my master and commander
I love but don’t understand her
Fare thee well my friends so long
Oh the myth of manhood did us wrong
So fare well, so long
Fare well, so long
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
Somewhere where you cannot reach me, you can’t teach me
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
And now you can do what you will to me
This is my last waltz, out into the wild,
And now you can be my master and commander,
I love her; she does what she will to me
Oh I love her; she does what she will to me.
