Текст песни The First to Leave - Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet
I
should
open
with
a
kiss
For
if
you′re
reading
this
You
must
have
opened
up
your
case
And
found
this
letter
where
I
placed
it
In
between
the
silk
and
lace
There
were
other
clues,
like
your
walking
shoes
But
I
still
refused
to
believe
That
you
were
meant
to
be
the
first
to
leave
Everybody
here
sends
you
their
love
How
could
I
forget
you
still
walk
above
Or
below
Perhaps
you'll
never
know
this
Purgatory
We
never
could
agree
There′s
a
thought,
there's
a
pause
No
time
to
repent
Eternally
yours
in
a
permanent
Lent
But
if
I
should
give
you
up
If
you're
right
and
life
just
stops
And
I
never
see
your
face
again
Then
from
unearthly
pleasures,
proud
and
plain
I
shall
abstain
′Til
you
realise,
my
loss
is
your
surprise
Unless
you
know
otherwise,
then
don′t
grieve
You
see
I
had
to
be
the
first
to
leave
