PETER COOK

 

 

(The words must have the end)

 

The words must have the end,

Not you or me.

 

Do you remember what word that lead to our first kiss?

And will you remember the word before the goodbye?

No one wants to hear the goodbye, just the word after goodbye because

it does reveal the naked truth of what we are all about.

 

That is a scary word.
