Absentee

Take from my heart a splinter

Carrying wood for the coming winter

Spat out in the bag

There are the words

Leave me begat part of me

Absentee

Take from the people their deliver

Take from the body it's shiver

I have something for you

I'll give you a clue

It's shaped like a shoe

Part of me

Absentee

As before I knew

As before you are too

Ain't it true?

Walking on a 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

Returned a deep

Absentee

Part of me

Absentee

Part of me

Absentee
