Walk back down the aisle -
No cameras, no flowers this time
You will find your way back home, no one at your side
Only absense will be your lover, regret your bride

And this is my new vow
not to have you or hold you
no more my arms enfold you
from this day on

And with all that I am
and all that I have
I still honor you

So go, take your records,
I want the plate from Mexico
Go, and don't look back
to swimming in the azure blue

We have lived and partly lived, not to let this happen
You took my hand, I gave it to you, I take it back
Ten years could be a lifetime, now we count the ways
to leave the burning sameness of these days

And just the other day
I saw it there
gleaming in the attic twilight -

my wedding dress,
still off-white, still my mother's,
as she must have seen it
when she left Dad

So go, damn this whole thing,
I don't know how we got here
Go, and don't look back, dear,
the way I always did

And I still do
