Leaving the Table / Den Tisch Verlassen / Saindo da Mesa / Dejando la Mesa

I’m leaving the table –
I’m out of the game –
I don’t know the people –
In your picture frame –
If I ever loved you or no, no –
It’s a crying shame if I ever loved you –
If I knew your name –

You don’t need a lawyer –
I’m not making a claim –
You don’t need to surrender –
I’m not taking aim –
I don’t need a lover, no, no –
The wretched beast is tame –
I don’t need a lover –
So blow out the flame –

There’s nobody missing
There is no reward
Little by little
We’re cutting the cord
We’re spending the treasure, oh, no, no
That love cannot afford
I know you can feel it
The sweetness restored

I don’t need a reason
For what I became
I’ve got these excuses
They’re tired and lame
I don’t need a pardon, no, no, no, no, no
There’s no one left to blame
I’m leaving the table
I’m out of the game

I’m leaving the table
I’m out of the game
