Throw the knife into the stream
 Run away across the fields
 Leave me lying where I fell
 Rivers running out of me
 Meet my Jenny in the lane
 Take a car and run away
 Get as far as you can get
 Before the new day
 
 Your heart beats quick and strong
 Your mind pores over it all
 Don't worry because no one saw me fall
 
 Sit inside a little chef
 Look around but not at her
 See my kisses on her lips
 See my fingers in her hair
 Think of this against your will
 See the knife edge slipping in
 See the questions in my eyes
 As I ask them
 
 I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone
 Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone
 And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night
 Some decisions don't thread back to being right
 
 Your head blurs quickly tonight
 Your edges diffuse in the light
 Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight
 
 Change your name and find a job
 Marry Jenny in the spring
 Buy a dog and call him Pete
 Push the children on the swings
 Think about me now and then
 Try to find a peaceful space
 Count the days as they go by
 Count the lines upon your face
 
 Your heart beats quick and strong
 Your mind pores over it all
 Don't worry because no one saw me fall
