Old wine in a new bottle!!!

This time that I'd gone home, my mom put me through the torture of actually digging up and re-arranging my old cupboard... which actually proved to be a blessing in disguise, because I unearthed quite a few of my earthly posessions that I'd forgotten about.. One object among them being an old diary full of completed and incomplete poems. Over the next few days I'll be posting stuff from that diary, which contains quite a few old memories and sentiments. Whats interesting is how I can relate quite a few of them to the now completely changed circumstances of my life...
This is a song I wrote quite a few years ago. Infact even after I had composed it, I still couldnt play it myself on the guitar.. hehe.. so here goes..

HOLLOW

I Was Used To Walking Alone
And I Was Used To Being On My Own
But That Was Before The Day I Met You

I Was Used To Walking In The Rain
And I Was Used To Ignoring The Pain
But That Was Before I Felt Your Love So True

And Now You’ve Gone
And Left Me Where I Began
And I Can’t Live Away From You,

Cause Now I’m Alone
Trying To Do What I Can
To Save My World From Going Blue,

I Try To Break Free,
But I Can Clearly See,
Baby You Took Away My Soul With You...
Baby You Took Away My Soul With You...

I Was Used To Holding Your Hand
And I Thought I Could Understand
Every Little Thing Deep Inside Of You

I’d Seen Loneliness Up Close
Thought I Understood The Way Time Flows
Never Thought I’d Go Back To Being Lonely Too

But Now You’re Gone
And At Crossroads Is Where I Am
Trying To Find A Road To Somewhere New

But How Can I Walk
Even A Step Without Your Hand
When All My Roads Lead To You?

I Try To Break Away
But This Is All I Have To Say
Baby You Took Away My Soul With You…
Baby You Took Away My Soul With You…



In the face of my better abilities on the guitar now, lets see if I can perform this and put up a video or something.. Tell me what you think of it, though.

Luv-n-Luck,
Av
