Testament

And if you feel a presence in the room

It’s only me, protectively observing

I just forgot to tell you I’d be here

From time to time

Don’t be afraid.  I’m only here to help

I cannot wave or talk to you directly

I only hope that something filters through

Into your mind

Oh-oh it’s just a primitive conceit

Designed to aid the injured heart

And give us meaning when we’re gone

So when we say we’ll never part

We won’t

And if your eyes alight on someone new

And you believe he’s decent and respectful

Then do not stop to think what I would say

If I could speak

I-I don’t wanna see what happens next

So I shall turn my head away

For it’s inevitably bleak

And it can only end in vexed dismay

And if you feel a presence in the room

It’s only me, protectively observing

I just forgot to tell you I’d be there

From time to time
