Present Company Lyrics

He leaves and in the wake I am rejected
I wait I stare like a fool I am alone
The only thing I know is they have taken him away from me

I ran to the grave and the earth was cold
I dragged the stones away and entered in
I have no place here
He was silent
They have taken him away from me I'm left present company

Can I crawl
Can I charm the snakes away from those I love
Should I wait
Should I hate
Should I claim my stake
Or just pretend to care
The tragedy is they have him away from me I'm left in present company

But I need more time and I've never known another way
To be unkind
I'll just throw myself
Throw myself away
