Oubliette (Disappear)
I watched you steal away
A man's best years
With the drumming of his fingers
And the kicking of his heels
I watched you put away
Your sweetest sins
I watched tempters satisfy
With the sweetest taste of wasted time
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade away
I watched him travel down
A steady road
With no milestones
Just a gentle slope
Soft underfoot, no sudden turns
Warn of sliding down that safe and sound
But not too familiar road
This is all too familiar
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will do
I watched you steal away
A man's best years
With the drumming of his fingers
And the kicking of his heels
Without a twinkle in his eye
I watched him beg and plead
With moving lips and bended knees
Just to have you back
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will do
Be numb my heart
Oh, nothingness
Be numb my heart
Oh, nothingness
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fall apart
Don't lead me to the wayside
Just don't let me go
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me disappear
Don't lead me to the wayside
Anything or not a thing will do
