Absentee

Take from my heart a splinter Carrying wood for the coming winter Spied her in the pile There all the while Leave me beguiled Part of me Absentee Take from the people their dead river Take from the body, its shiver I have something for you I'll give you a clue It's shaped like a shoe Pardon me Absentee Hours before I knew Hours before you want to And the truth Walking on the country road late last night I passed a stranger in the moonlight I turned around to see Where he did flee But there was just me Return the deep Absentee Part of me Absentee Part of me Absentee
