Exeunt Lyrics
I was all alone. We were young. You were like wine:
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside;
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows;
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows.
Lo, the rose is gone from my eye. (So deceiving!)
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving.
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger.
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger:
Fluttering your lashes like ashes and embers;
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber.
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving.
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still, I am leaving.
Even when you hunt me with ire relentless,
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
I will not abide all your raging and reaving.
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving.
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside;
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows;
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows.
Lo, the rose is gone from my eye. (So deceiving!)
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving.
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger:
Fluttering your lashes like ashes and embers;
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber.
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving.
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still, I am leaving.
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
I will not abide all your raging and reaving.
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving.
