I wouldn’t hear
a good word said about you
with your coconut Olympic badge
your philharmonic blues
How long can your heart beat
me like this?
You say I shouldn’t run home
but I can’t resist
Don’t leave in the morning
Don’t leave without warning
 
You sent me to a different shore
I was balling my baby
but you left me cold-calling
I long to hold you by my side
I said I’d never sell you out
and I didn’t – did I?
Don’t leave in the morning
Don’t leave without warning
 
He said ‘I’m adhering to
my outrageous heart
I commissioned it to stop racing
like a Cole Porter train
but the signals disconnected
and the driver’s deranged.’
 
I’m sorry you feel like you do
Half a bottle of Chianti on Avenue X
When the buildings just disappeared out of the blue
you never knew
which ones were next
So don’t leave in the morning
Don’t leave without warning
