Lyrics Cass McCombs – Absentee

Take from my heart a splinter
Carrying wood, for the coming winter
Spider in the pile
There all the while

Take from the people their dead river
Take from the body its shiver
I have something for you
I’ll give you a clue
It’s shaped like a shoe
Part of me
Absentee

As before, I am nude
As before, you are too
Ain’t it true

Walking on a country road late last night
I passed a stranger in the moonlight
I turned around to see
Where he did flee
But there was just me
Return the deed
Absentee
Part of me
Absentee
Part of me
Absentee
