here's the tiny piece of you I saved / I awake to the birds singing / I cut the rope / step out / in an instant it's all over / I'm done // here's the tiny piece of you I save / just enough rope / just enough rope / sex and death / total self-destruction / turn your body over / to me // still awake in the morning mist / grant me some grace / grant me some grace / you don't have to worry / forgiven and forgotten / move on // here's the tiny piece of you I save / maybe tomorrow / in another city / where they don't know our names / drips of honey / eyes dilate / and losing our way / between
