Take from my heart a splinter

Carrying wood for the coming winter

Spied her in the pileThere all the while

Leave me beguiled

Part of me

Absentee

Take from the people their dead river

Take from the body, its shiver

I have something for you

I′ll give you a clue

It's shaped like a shoe

Pardon me

Absentee

Hours before I knew

Hours before you want to

And the truth

Walking on the 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

Return the deep

Absentee

Part of me

Absentee

Part of me

Absentee
