The chagrin streets

I walk the chagrin streets
where the autumn leaves fall
Listen to the beat of my feet
To the silence call

The restaurant was a cold dish
I eat my revenge
And the road does fork
On a knife's edge I cut my bone
Underneath the cover
Of a night spent alone

The lamb joint the weasel nose
The final point in our wedding vows
And as the sun rose
I heard you say your place or mine
