Down So Low - Diamanda Galas

When you went away I cried

Cried for so long

And I wanted you to stay

Ah but that was all wrong

The pain you left behind

Has become part of me And it’s burned out a hole

Where my love used to be But it’s not losing you

That’s got me down so low

I just can’t find another man

To take your place

Well you know I love you

But that wasn’t enough

We both fell apart

When things got too tough

And I’ve learned how to give now

But what good

But what good would that do No one can touch me The way you used to do And it’s not losing you

That’s got me down so low

I just can’t find another man

To take your place

Well I know your opinion

Of me is not good

Please try to understand

That I’d change

Well I’d change if I could

And this coldness inside me Well it’s starting to build

And a woman can’t be a woman

Unless she’s fulfilled

But it’s not losing you

That’s got me down so low

I just can’t find another man

To take your place

There’s no one can
