Lyrics for 'The First To Leave' by 'Elvis Costello'
I Should Open With A Kiss
For If You're Reading This
You Must Have Opened Up Your Case
And Found This Letter Where I Placed It
In Between The Silk And Lace
There Were Other Clues, Like Your Walking Shoes
But I Still Refused To Believe
That You Were Meant To Be The First To Leave
Everybody Here Sends You Their Love
How Can I Forget You Still Walk Above
Or
Below
Perhaps You'll Never Know This Purgatory
We Never Could Agree
There's A Thought, There's A Pause
No Time To Repent
Eternally Yours
In A Permanent Lent
But If I Should Give You Up
If You're Right And Life Just Stops
And I Never See Your Face Again
Then From Unearthly Pleasures, Proud And Plain
I Shall Abstain
Until You Realise, My Loss Is Your Surprise
Unless You Know Otherwise
Then Don't Grieve
You See I Had To Be The First To Leave
