Elvis Costello - The First To Leave Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I should open with a kiss

For if youre 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 youll never know this purgatory

We never could agree

Theres a thought, theres a pause

No time to repent

Eternally yours

In a permanent lent

But if I should give you up

If youre 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 surprise

Unless you know otherwise

Then dont grieve

You see I had to be the first to leave
