Elvis Costello
The First To Leave

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 can 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

Until you realise, my loss is your surprise
Unless you know otherwise
Then don't grieve
You see I had to be the first to leave


Mirror lyrics:

You see I had to be the first to leave
Then don't grieve
Unless you know otherwise
Until you realise, my loss is your surprise

I shall abstain
Then from unearthly pleasures, proud and plain
And I never see your face again
If you're right and life just stops
But if I should give you up

In a permanent lent
Eternally yours
No time to repent
There's a thought, there's a pause
We never could agree
Perhaps you'll never know this purgatory
below
Or
How can I forget you still walk above
Everybody here sends you their love
That you were meant to be the first to leave
But I still refused to believe
There were other clues, like your walking shoes
In between the silk and lace
And found this letter where I placed it
You must have opened up your case
For if you're reading this
I should open with a kiss
