Leonard

A long and sad cigar hangs from my mangled lips
My broken heart like ash burns down and stings my fingertips
Did I miss it? When I was alone outside the bar?
My faded dreams like missing teeth
My feet that travel far

And here I am
And I'm gone like a wife in Salt Lake City
I've seen you lie for a thousand years
And still I feel no pity

And there you were
No wait, you weren't
You stayed here for a thousand years
But you left in such a hurry

A vestal virgin in an unmade bed
Repeats to me what I've never said
It doesn't feel like I'm close to dead
But it wouldn't quite surprise me
So lay me down for my final act
It pains me now to give you back
I never was okay with that
But then, why does it surprise me?

And here I am
And I'm gone like a wife in Salt Lake City
I've seen you lie for a thousand years
And still I feel no pity

And there you were
No wait, you weren't
You stayed here for a thousand years
But you left in such a hurry

And here I am
And I'm gone like a wife in Salt Lake City
I've seen you lie for a thousand years
And still I feel no pity

And there you were
No wait, you weren't
You stayed here for a thousand years
But you left in such a hurry

And here I am
And I'm gone like a wife in Salt Lake City
I've seen you lie for a thousand years
And still I feel no pity

And there you were
No wait, you weren't
You stayed here for a thousand years
But you left in such a hurry

Here I am
