Lyrics
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
