Part from Thee Lyrics by Erik Segel

One-Night Marriage

2019

You were born such a lady
Without heels, without gloves
You said "draw me in your poems
And then you may throw them
But do it for love"
In the woods I lamented
That the words wouldn't come
You said "if shut the doors
All trees will be yours
But only the trees
Because my words go like this
Till thy love fears no travel
I will part from thee
Till thy heart is unraveled
I will part from thee"
Then I yelled "no, please, no
Teach me how to speak"
"Oh the birds sing an anthem
And the path seems so clear"
You said "do not digress
You won't be caressed
It's you who must sing my dear"
"The streets shine with traces
With your footprints on them"
You said "get to the point
You don't try to join
What goes on outside
With what is born in your loins
Till thy love fears no travel
I will part from thee
Till thy heart is unraveled
I will part from thee"
I complained "no, please, no
Teach me how to be clear"
Then I cried "please
Please, prevent me from not being near"
It was four when you woke up
Our bed lighter than air
Yet so many were on it
The past so erotic
Keeps me unrepaired
"Oh but love, let me touch you
Though we get really hurt"
You said "I know that pain
I've felt it in vain
I know you will not be washed
In ten years of rain
For thy love fears all travels
I must part from thee
Before everything's raveled
I must part from thee"
Now I'll draw you as promised
Even though I'm running late
I'll be kissing an old mist
Seeing the past be washed
Away in the rain
