           Tried so hard to go it alone
           but the strings just won't break
           that hold me to you, girl.
           Living alone and drinking wine to fall asleep
           I'm making it most times but then
           when I see you it all begins again.
           That old love's wound and comfort you send
           I just can't seem to fight it
           and I'm afraid I'm going to bend.
           Phone conversations where I just can't stand
           to hang up empty and broken again
           and have to wait to mend.
           I'm just not strong enough when I'm down
           to give it all away...
                                 gallagher
                                 31 may 75
