The First To Leave - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/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 realize my loss is your surprise

Unless you know otherwise
Then don't grieve
You see I had to be the first to leave
