Last Dance

I’m so glad you came

I’m so glad you remembered

To see how we’re ending our last dance together

Expectant too punctual but

Prettier than ever

I really believed that this time it’s forever

But older than me now more constant more real

And the fur and the mouth and the innocence

Turned to hair and contentment that hangs in

Abasement a woman now standing where once

There was only a girl

I’m so glad you came

I’m so glad you remembered

The walking through walls in the heart of December

The blindness of happiness

Of falling down laughing

And I really believed that this time was forever

But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

All this in an instant before I can kiss you

A woman now standing were once there was only a girl

I’m so glad you came

I’m so glad you remembered

To see how we’re ending our last dance together

Reluctantly cautiously but

Prettier than ever I really believed

That this time it’s forever

But Christmas falls late now, flatter and colder

And never as bright as when we used to fall

And even if we drink I don’t think we would kiss

In the way that we did when the woman was only a girl
