Paratrooper

Yours was not
A faithful correspondence
Yours was not
A ringing endorsement
Yours was not
A removal of my fear
Yours was not
A promise of the good life to come
Yours was not
A lie about the person you've become
Yours was not

And I left
A hopeful pair of arms
And I left
Some Southern eyes
And I left
A mire, a mire that was mine.
And I left
Just in time (2x)

And here I am
With no illusions of our love
And here I am
With no illusions
Here I am
Out in the street
And here I am
On your doorstep

I just dropped in (3x)
Like a paratrooper (4x)
