Lyrics

[00:30.69] Take from my heart a splinter
[00:37.38] Carrying wood for the coming winter
[00:44.76] Spied her in the pile
[00:48.97] There all the while
[00:52.48] Leave me beguiled
[00:55.90] Part of me
[00:59.09] Absentee
[01:01.82] Take from the people their dead river
[01:09.42] Take from the body its shiver
[01:16.03] I have something for you
[01:20.14] I'll give you a clue
[01:23.81] It's shaped like a shoe
[01:26.96] Pardon me
[01:30.77] Absentee
[01:33.48] Hours before I knew
[01:39.13] Hours before you want to
[01:45.95] And the truth
[01:48.46] Walking on the country road late last night
[01:55.84] I passed a stranger in the moonlight
[02:02.83] I turned around to see
[02:06.81] Where he did flee
[02:10.60] But there was just me
[02:14.00] Return the deep
[02:17.87] Absentee
[02:19.60] Part of me
[02:22.91] Absentee
[02:25.28] Part of me
[02:28.93] Absentee
[02:32.78]
