My First Night Alone Without You

(album: Home Plate - 1975)

There is an aching in my head
From the bed I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you

Honey, half of me has gone away
With all the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find another way
To live the rest of my life alone without you

You taught me how to live
How to be myself
And how to give
Oh, but now it's you
Who's given up on giving

You've lost the thing, no one to teach
Changing and now you're out of reach
And my life tonight just don't seem worth living
No, no

I've been sitting learning how to read
Cause back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together, baby, without you
