            I don't know why I give it all away
              I don't know who I'm waiting for today
            it seems I'm looking thru the dark
              but nothing comes to me ...
                 I'm giving it all away.
            Eyes flash! and I'm lost again
              hollow men take form, again
            and once more
              the wheel turns, again.
            I give it all away to arrive
              without luggage
            without wishes or fears ...
              to simply be there
            but its a strange way
              so easily lost, day to day.
            Its so tempting to stop and play
              just to feel the rush of love and pain.
                                 gallagher
