Closing A Door

(album: Cabaret '79 - 1982)

If you go
I think you should know
You're closing a door behind you
And if we meet again
Try not to pretend
We lost anything of value

My generosity, generosity
Is fading fast for you, baby
Don't wanna hear 'bout tomorrow
My curiosity, curiosity
Is not gonna be the undoing of me
I'll carry my own tiny sorrow

Like the hawk that yearns to lock
His claws into every sparrow
You're the one that loves to run
The needle through the bone
To the marrow

Twenty lovers in a week
You can get 'em sure you can
There's lots of geeks
And every mother one of them
Wants to get lucky
Or maybe you need more than one man
Probably a legion every one a fan
I'm trying to find it in me
To hope you're happy

So when you go
I feel you oughta know
You're closing a door behind you
And when we meet again
Promise not to pretend
We lost anything of value
