|
Throw the knife into the stream |
|
Run away across the fields |
|
Leave me lying where I fell |
|
Rivers running out of me |
|
Meet my Jenny in the lane |
|
Take a car and run away |
|
Get as far as you can get |
|
Before the new day |
|
|
|
Your heart beats quick and strong |
|
Your mind pores over it all |
|
Don't worry because no one saw me fall |
|
|
|
Sit inside a little chef |
|
Look around but not at her |
|
See my kisses on her lips |
|
See my fingers in her hair |
|
Think of this against your will |
|
See the knife edge slipping in |
|
See the questions in my eyes |
|
As I ask them |
|
|
|
I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone |
|
Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone |
|
And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night |
|
Some decisions don't thread back to being right |
|
|
|
Your head blurs quickly tonight |
|
Your edges diffuse in the light |
|
Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight |
|
|
|
Change your name and find a job |
|
Marry Jenny in the spring |
|
Buy a dog and call him Pete |
|
Push the children on the swings |
|
Think about me now and then |
|
Try to find a peaceful space |
|
Count the days as they go by |
|
Count the lines upon your face |
|
|
|
Your heart beats quick and strong |
|
Your mind pores over it all |
|
Don't worry because no one saw me fall |
