I've seen you for the last time, I know this, and in the instant I knew
I swore you would not leave me that way
Without acknowledgement
Without a gift
So you could say that this new body I'm wearing
Every day this new skin I step into
I've made it your gift
And the old one shed
Like Eustace peeling off the dragon's skin
Well he had help
The lion put his velvet paws his divine claws
To the boy's heart and let her rip
Alone, I have only that Outsider Knowledge
Of the man you were becoming
And dance tunes from our loving days
Once I cut my hair too short
Because I thought you'd like it
See, even with our talk we weren't any better than anyone
Now there is more, and less
I am swimming-pool clean, emerging
And just what it is I am
Has a new host
And new eyes, think of it
The eyes you kissed them twelve years gone they're new
All this without you
Although I do thank you
And goodbye
