A moving song ... Oh, yes, it is! This is a preview version, with the guitar and vocal recorded together.
Yet another songwriter-guitarist-singer. In that order. Though I earn my living mostly playing bass.
I play bass with various bands in many genres, and also perform at mainly acoustic-style venues as a solo songwriter-guitarist-singer (in that order)
Story behind the song
After sharing our home for so long, you've moved out. And this is how I feel. Sort of...
Lyrics
Missing You, My Darling
You’ve left me, then, my darling, packed your bags and gone away.
I’m going to miss the way you’ve run my life up till today –
Your wise advice to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do ...
I’m missing that, my darling – most of all, I’m missing YOU.
You’ve left me then, my darling, and my life that you controlled.
I’ve put your things on eBay, so by Thursday they’ll be sold.
I drive my car in silence, though a helpful comment's due ...
I’m missing that, my darling – most of all, I’m missing YOU.
I
miss
your
Lying and your sighing and your getting in a mood,
My sink full of your dirty pans, half-eaten greasy food,
Your taking all the bedclothes so I froze the whole night through ...
I miss them all, my darling – most of all, I’m missing YOU.
You've left me then, my darling, and the bathroom's sparkling bright.
The door now has a handle and I go out when I like.
I come home when I'm ready, and no-one cares, that's true.
I’m missing that, my darling – most of all, I’m missing YOU.
