I've been waiting here for her for my sentence And I haven't said a word of anger here But I didn't see her running 'til it hit me She's been living right behind me all these years And I never found an ending to my suffering She opened every door I should have closed With the mercy of a hundred hungry animals Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows So long my baby I know it I know So long my baby I know it I know Can't we fall apart together tonight And I studied every wrinkle on the pillow at my head And sucked the sunken breath from deep within She carved into the body of my memory and said Let not your sorrows die though while in bed And I'm living with her now inside her temple She moves enough to let my patience grow And then I hear the ringing in the tower Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows So long my baby I know it I know So long my baby I know it I know Can't we fall apart together tonight So long my baby I know it I know So long my baby I know it I know Can't we fall apart together tonight Can't we fall apart together
