<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe stars shine bright above<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPeople below talk about love<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBut me I\u2019m sittin\u2019 here<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEvery now and then a tear.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nChorus<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh why did ya leave?<\/span><\/i>
\nYou were mine I do believe.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh why did ya leave?<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou were mine I do believe.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo one can tell the way I fell for your arms<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThere was no way to repel your charms<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou came to me when I needed a lift<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNow you have flown with the winds so swift.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe night\u2019s so dark, it hides the mark you made.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou shone so bright in the night then began to fade.<\/span>
\nThe room\u2019s so bare, there\u2019s no one there<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nI cry out all in vain.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe floor it creaks, my mind it seeks<\/span><\/div>\n

A rest from all this pain.<\/span>

\nOne of the first songs I wrote back in 1966,while still at the City of Coventry boarding school in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. I only wrote one a month on average from when I was 15 until 1968 when I became more serious and prolific. It was visiting day and the parents had just left and the tears came down. That was what it was originally about but i transformed into a love song in 1968. The feel of it was hearing early Dylan playing on the pirate radio stations- Radio Caroline in particular.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nThis is a rough cassette try out while setting the lyric to music, rough and unfinished but it gives the idea of the song.<\/span><\/span>
