about

This song is dedicated to my dear friend Christopher Swaffar, who took his life in the autumn of 2013, and to all the good souls who struggle in this lifetime.

lyrics

I've gone away, sold my guitars and moved for you
Took a job in the city
Walked past the bars
and gave my soul to you
I tried for you girl
I died for you girl

Happy little boy with his wind up toy
Busy as you want him to be
I could be who you want me to be if you cared
I tried for you girl
I died for you girl
Take me back to Boston
Somewhere down Old Route 9
Fake it when you tell me you love me
I don't really want the truth
I cried for you girl
I died for you girl
oh yeah, I've gone away
