dylan thomas - the libertine lyrics

Loading...

in the old days with married women’s stockings
twisted round his bedpost he felt himself a gay
dog but now his liver has begun to groan
now that pick+ups are the order of the day:
o leave me easy, leave me alone

voluptuary in his ‘teens and cynic in his twenties
he ran through women like a child through growing hay
looking for a lost toy whose capture might atone
for his own guilt and the cosmic disarray:
o leave me easy, leave me alone

he never found the toy and has forgotten the faces
only remembers the props … a scent+spray
beside the bed or a milk+white telephone
or through the triple ninon the acrid trickle of day:
o leave me easy, leave me alone

long fingers over the gunwale, hair in a hair+net
furs in january, cartwheel hats in may
and after the event the wish to be alone+
angels, goddesses, b+tches, all have edged away:
o leave me easy, leave me alone

so now, in middle age, his erotic programme
torn in two, if after such a delay
an accident should offer him his own
fulfilment in a woman, still he would say:
o leave me easy, leave me alone
