Part From Thee Lyrics - Erik Segel

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 unravelled 

I will part from thee." 

then I yelled "no, please, no, 

just 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, 

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 unravelled 

I will part from thee." 

I complained "no, please, 

teach me how to be clear, 

then I cried "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 ravelled, 

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.
