Won't you understand? Won't you hold my hand? / Won't you take me in your cover? / Won't you have me stay? Won't you run away? / Won't you hide me from your father? / Cos I'm almost here, and I'm surely gone / And I'm standing in your doorway / Won't you keep me safe? Won't you call the chase? / Won't you strike me down or love me? / But your silence makes me cold / And there's a crashing of the bowls that are barely touching / And you're smashing around the kitchen with your shuffling / And your silence makes them bones / Your silence makes them bones / Your silence makes me homesick for a place / That I don't know / And it's only since I'm gone you think you own me / And it's only since I met you I've been lonely / And it's only in the hiding that you show me / The door before me is closed / And your silence makes them bones / Won't you be my friend? Won't you be my enemy of generous destruction? / Won't you comprehend? Won't you send your / Infidels of meaningless construction? / Cos I'm almost here, and I'm surely gone / And I'm standing in your doorway / Won't you bring me in? Won't you cast me out? / Won't you strike me down or love me? / But your silence makes me cold / And the Marian you play is very touching / And I've hardly played the duke but I've been sucked in / And your silence shakes my bones / Your silence shakes my bones / Your silence makes me homesick for a place / That I don't know / And it's only since I'm gone you think you own me / And it's only since I met you I've been lonely / And it's only in the hiding that you show me / The door before me is closed / And it's only since you left you say you love me / And It's only since I'm gone you think I'm lovely / And it's only in my nakedness you covet me / And it's only when I jumped you say you shoved me / Outside to the bones / Outside to the bones
