The last time I saw you, you were standing across the road
Calling to me as the bus approached
I’d look for you once I got inside the bus
But you’d vanish each time in a rush
You’d visit me at odd hours,
Saw you standing in queue behind two lovers
Were you there for me or to place an order?
Maybe I should have called out to you louder
Haven’t seen you in quite a while
But I know you will return with that gentle smile
Wonder how long I’ll have to wait
But this time, I have a request of late
You may take me to the land unknown
But may I keep my heart with my soul?
You may take my ears, though I will miss the sounds
Of birds, seas and the songs that makes the rounds
You may take my tongue as well
That craves for Amma’s food, magical as a spell
But please, leave my heart behind
Leave my heart behind
You may take my eyes too, the world lost its colors quite some time ago
As I was teaching myself over and over again to let go
But please, leave my heart behind
Leave my heart behind
You may take my skin as well, and with it my nerves
Perhaps you’ll give them the care they deserves
But please, leave my heart behind
Leave my heart behind
So take from me whatever you can find
But please, leave my heart behind
For that’s where she resides
Thats where she resides.
