Lost You Well

lyrics

LOST YOU WELL
I lost you well
And I love losing things, so I can tell
That in the context of the vast
Volumes of my losses past, I lost you well

It was done with class
With sensitivity and with panache
But - darling - don't take it from me
Any critic, they'd agree
I lost you well

A feather thinks
I'm not suited to supporting wings
So it holds itself erect
And its removal is correct
However cold the comfort correct brings
And while on the wind
It may miss the warmth and miss it's friend
And it may think itself a fool
Think it brutal, think it cruel
That it's best hope is to stay aloft
On changing winds
But - I lost you well
And I love losing things, so I can tell
That in the context of the vast
Volumes of my losses past
I lost you well

So I can't cry about it

But who wouldn't mourn?
It was beautiful since it was born
Who'd have know what clove the sky
What heated breath twixt you and I
Was actually a meteor?

Whatever it was not, it was not a home
Whatever it had not, it had not alone
O!

And reliably
I feel it most when I'm off work at 3
Because I could creep back into our tower
And no matter what the hour
You'd roll over and talk to me.

Still, I can't cry about it

My well-lost dear
I haven't been completely honest, here
For while misplacement is my field
For a time, you wouldn't yield
That is, you'd turn up everywhere.
And I've no excuse
Except that you're sincerely hard to lose.
