Part Company

Come and have a look, beside me, a fine line of tears, part company
That's her handwriting, that's the way she writes, from the first letter
I got to this, her bill of rights, part company and what will I miss?
Her cruelty, her unfaithfulness, her fun, her love, her kiss, part company

That's her handwriting, that's the way she writes
Like mud in the September rain it comes, back to me

Part, part, I said part
Part company, made he men disappear
Cut my swathe and spread my fear

Before we'd met, I hadn't wiped my feet
Seen myself naked or, part company
And I said it before, do I have to say it again
A fine line of tears, part company

That's her handwriting, that's the way she writes
From her first words to this, our last night

Part, part, she said part
Part company, made her men disappear
Cut my swathe and spread my fear
