Paikin's Song

Yes Indeed

Yes indeed I'll go
As I've another to see
Before I leave
For other places
Far from here

Like I said
I have work to do
So since you've said
What you had to say
Do go on about your day

And with that there done
Michael focused on his work
Hoping that was the end
Of Alex's strange good-bye

Of course I will
It's just not so easy
To turn my back
On all I've known
These last few years
So forgive me if
I longer stay
Than so I should

A sigh was his sole reply
And a rubbing of his head
In evident anger
That threatened to burst from him

Like now I have
When you're about to yell
So save your breath
I really am going now
