                                                                  eddy


what  happened jimmy  that  ye  broke up? ye were like ye were born for each other, real soul mates


                                                                  JIMMY

that  is  the  question, ive  been  asking  my self  for over  22 years eddy, i just dont know why,

                                                                    eddy

were ye  long  together anyway jimmy
                                                                     JIMMY

for  the  summer  of  eighty  three, she used to help out spinning the records, but she had one fave song, and it brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it


                                                                         (flashback young JIMMY and alie)

                                                                 eddy

thats  the  way it goes  JIMMY,


                                                                     JIMMY

the  eighties  broke  my  heart  big time  eddy


                                                                    eddy

we  all  have  our  little  sorrows  JIMMY


                                                                    JIMMY

i had  a sheep dog  rover, a  few  months  old when  i met alie, he  and alie became great friends, she  got  a  lead for  him and  had  him walking  everywhere,

sadly about  a  month later rover died, both of us were heart broken, then when  i  was just about over the loss of rover,

alie  went  and  left  me, oh  god  i was so  heartbroken i could  have died, part of my heart was never the same, she had a special sacred place in my heart,

                                                                        eddy

hey jim why  do  you  think  she  left  you,hardly age difference, you were what late twenties,

                                                                       

ttwenty eight  eddy to the day when she left me, what a birthday, i dont know what i said or did not say  that made her change towards me?

one  day  her eyes were telling me she loved me, the next day, no it is too hutfull to even think about,
                                                                     eddy

you mean she was with you then just walked away from you without saying why?

                                                                      jim

that  is  what  i  mean  eddy, we were dancing here one night , you were spinning you said something comical over the mike about the legwarmers, that a lot of the girls includeing alli used to wear back then,

                                                                  eddy

                                             you  have  some  memory  jim.


                                                                   jim

for  good  reason  eddy, i laughed as did  a lot of other people, but not alli, she looked startled hurt, then pushed me away from her, telling me its over,

                                                                     eddy

oh  sweet jesus  dont tell me  i  was the cause of  ye  breaking up?

                                                                      jim

                                         dont  be  silly  man  no way were you,

                                                                   eddy

                                               did  you  try  and  get  back  with her?

                                                                    jim

did  i  what,  i moved heaven and  earth trying to get near to her but she did not want to be near me, so what could i  do,  but try and carry my cross, and it has been  a heavy cross

                                                                  eddy

             at least it proved that you cared for her, to have your heart so broken,

                                                                  jim


i  hope  you  dont  think  im  away with the  faries eddy when  i  tell  you this,
