Five Little Graves

The Ivory Coast
Is there any way to know that I'm lying?
That my best foot is forward and that I'm really trying?
It must be the face that I make when I'm straining to keep you in distance of what I'm really thinking of you
It's the end of the affair
I'm so glad we could come to terms
With the worst part of ourselves
Outliving the original feeling that made it all make sense.
