When I left you There was nothing left For me to give A slap on the *** Feet firm on the ground And that's all I had No moon over Manhattan No Bambi eyes on the prize Just two hands, two feet Ten fingers, ten toes You'd think I'd at least Have wrapped you Bandana blue Tied you to a post And slung you over shoulder See saw of gravitas Instead I had empty pockets Hole sewn into the hem So that when money went in It just fell out again I think you're better off Busking on the street Earning pennies for thoughts People will take pity A gift that's more than What I was given But then again What do I really know I left my dignity behind So long ago
