Peter Geoffrey Hynes - Grand Pa**ion lyrics

this morning I simpered and threw myself on the compost; rolled in the rot, to try and please you. tonight I'll drink too much and slap you hard and more than once when I get home to prove that I'm still tough enough to love. these aren't my sane days, still to come; they're the days I waste longing for love with no idea of the meaning of the word. I will learn it, by which time you'll be gone and all my ardour will have burned to ash. one day you'll think of me again and flinch: first from the remembered blows of our battles; then from the pain that leaving me caused both of us, even though you were right to do it. last you'll ache from knowing I am still alive somewhere and that we will never love again. you'll sigh and take your present lover more roughly than you ever have before. just be sure it's his name that you call into the dark. if not, somehow I'll hear you, then know that you still love me. whatever good that does for either of us
