      Once upon a time she would've stayed no matter what
      but now I'm the one who's afraid of being alone.

      Most of the men she'd meet are looking for their mothers
      and the rest, their lovers
      and she knows it...
      she could make it in that world.

      But I'm not so sure about me
      I'm looking for love without bonds or chains
      and deep down
      I know my chances are not good.

      This growing up seems to get narrower by the day
      and its getting truer all the time
      that you've got to grow apace with your Karma
      or lose the freedom of your spirit.

                              gallagher
