WHEN I FOR REASONS OF MY OWN SEE FIT TO QUIT THIS SPHERE
TO THOSE OF YOU I LEAVE BEHIND
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL FIND SOME PLEASURE AND SOME PEACE OF MIND
IN ALL THAT FOLLOWS HERE
TO ANY SIBLINGS
WHO MAY SURVIVE
I LEAVE MY SCRIBBLINGS TO PROVE I REALLY WAS ALIVE
GOODBYE FOR NOW
TO ALL MY EX'S
I LEAVE MY BED
AND TRUST THAT SEX IS
STUPENDOUS IN THE YEARS AHEAD
GOODBYE FOR NOW
GOODBYE FOR NOW
TO MAKE AMMENDS
TO ALL MY FRIENDS
FOR ANY WRONGS I'VE DONE
I'LL LEAVE THE SUN AND STARS
MY MODEST FLAT
GOES TO MY CAT
TO KEEP HER TUCKED AWAY FROM BEASTS OF PREY AND CARS
AND TO MY LOVER
I LEAVE THE WISH
THAT YOU'LL DISCOVER THAT THERE'S A SEA OF OTHER FISH
AND IN THAT SEA A FRIENDLY FACE
THAT ISN'T ME BUT FILLS A SPACE
YOU'LL MUDDLE THROUGH SOMEHOW
YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT BUT WE DO SOMEHOW
AND SO
GOODBYE FOR NOW
GOODBYE FOR NOW
AND YOU MY LOVER
SHOULD FEEL NO SHAME
WHEN YOU RECOVER AND FIND YOU CAN'T RECALL MY NAME
AND ALL THE REST THAT I'VE LEFT OUT
YOU WERE THE BEST WITHOUT A DOUBT
AND YOU'LL GET BY SOMEHOW
MY FUNDS RAN DRY AND SO DID I SOMEHOW AND SO
GOODBYE FOR NOW
GOODBYE FOR NOW
GOODBYE FOR NOW
