My clock said one
When he entered through the back door
Easily, quietly
How could I have known
Heavily I slept while
Stealthily he crept from room to room

He left my platinum diamond ring
And never checked to see my color TV
Surely I'd regret my life meant nothing to him
Anything I kept barely managed to amuse him

Oh, endlessly I miss you
Endlessly I forget you
Endlessly I forget

The minutes marched in tall black boots
Time went on and came back again
What grew in place of his heart jumped out of his chest
I would've called out
I think that I didn't

Endlessly I miss you
Endlessly I forget

His hand was full and human
Over my mouth
Rush of lightning pulled me to consciousness
Dear one, I was a friend to life
How could you let me lose it

Endlessly I forget
