I wanted you for lover, friend and confidant,
Father teacher, trusty aide; my comrade in arms
Fight my battles, applaud my charms
Act as a barrier against all harm

Chorus:
The shoes I wanted you to fill
So big they're comic like a clown's
No way that you could wear them still
So you wear none, so you wear none

Out of the choking holes of air, dust of distrust
I have begun to fill the lonely vacant spots
With other joys, scattered dots
The extra space I've got for you is naught

Now floating through my busy halls, you're just a ghost
I recollect you turned your back, when I drew near
Voice now mute, I don't hear
And new resource has helped me cease to care
