Lyrics for The First To Leave by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | The Juliet Letter | | Track: | The First To Leave | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Words & Music: Mac Manus (5:00)
I should open with a kiss
For if you're reading
this
You must have opened up your case
And found this letter where I placed it
In
between the silk and lace
There were other clues, like your walking shoes
But I still
refused to believe
That you were meant to be the first to leave
Everybody here sends
you their love
How can I forget you still walk above
Or
below
Perhaps you'll
never know this purgatory
We never could agree
There's a thought, there's a pause
No
time to repent
Eternally yours
In a permanent lent
But if I should give you
up
If you're right and life just stops
And I never see your face again
Then from
unearthly pleasures, proud and plain
I shall abstain
Until you realise, my loss is
your suprise
Unless you know otherwise
Then don't grieve
You see I had to be the
first to leave | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
