You leave and you return,
You leave and you return,
And all the days pass by soon,
But, in the dark, you all leave
And silence learns eerier tune.
Some say, lovers leave and should,
If anyone knows, you would;
But some say some do return;
That happens rare and, mostly,
In loneliness, alone, you shall burn.
You’ve seen the moon shine bright,
She can take the sole centre of night,
All rave on her beauty, some swoon;
But, on the darkest night, she leaves –
Even the moon leaves, even the moon.
So laugh, if you can, and fuck and eat
And, if you can, go ahead and repeat;
Everyone leaves and this is true;
And in the darkest hours of deceit,
Even you could leave, and yes, so will you.
