Let me down easy, no big song and dance

[chanaleh]

Don't write a letter when you want to leave,
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment;
I'd like to choose how I hear the news:
Take me to a park that's covered with trees,
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Let me down easy -- no big song and dance
No long faces, no long looks
No deep conversation
I know the way we should spend that day:
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees,
Tell me on a Sunday please

Don't want to know who's to blame,
It won't help knowing;
Don't want to fight day and night,
Bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no word at all,
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
That's no way to end this --
I know how I want you to say goodbye:
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze,
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Don't want to fight day and night,
Bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no word at all,
Don't get drunk and slam the door,
That's no way to end this --
I know how I want you to say goodbye:

Don't run off in the pouring rain,
Don't call me as they call your plane,
Take the hurt out of all the pain...
Take me to a park that's covered with trees,
Tell me on a Sunday please.

Oh ouch. I'm sorry...

During the long conversation efore we went on leave of absence, XSweetie sang "Before I Gaze at You Again," from Camelot. I was in tears from the second note. I don't think I'll ever hear that song without crying.

Ain't show tunes a bitch when they're right?

"Stay away until you cross my mind barely once a day..." Yep, that's another one that's been in my head a bit lately. Although for the moment things don't seem to have quite come to that desperate pass. We'll see. :-/
