He Was a Good Man, He Was a Taxpayer

I cannot stay long
With a sudden exhalation
A quivering leaf in the sun
And a heartfelt obsession

We were never young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence
That you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone

The heat is gone
I've only got so far that I can fall
None of it will be remembered
None of it deserves any
Recollection after all

We were never young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence
That you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone
We were never young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence
That you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone

Where was there left to go?
But to dance about in our decay
Where was there left to go?
Much to our reciprocal dismay

Now that I'm gone
You're free
Now that I'm gone
You're free
Now that I'm gone
You're free
Now that I'm gone
You're free
