Duration: P00H01M37S
Description: The first draft of the words to this waas several decades old, but I rewrote it and added a tune in response to Zoe Zalick's challenge to write and perform a song in a week.

lyrics

Who's driving nails into my lonely bed?
Who sent images scurrying through my head?
You...

And we mixed a perfect cocktail, you and I
How come now my cup is dry?

How come these days I drink so much alone?
Who's to blame if I end up stoned?

You...

And we mixed a perfect cocktail, you and I
How come now my cup is dry?

Who leaves me here, lying all alone?
Asks six weeks later why I didn't phone

You...

And we mixed a perfect cocktail, you and I
How come now my cup is dry?
