    Story Behind the Song
    This song features my two vintage Gibson "f-hole" guitars:
    The rhythm is played on a 1941 L12 and the lead on a 1951 L7-C. I feel that both instruments, but especially the L7, sound beautiful here.

    Lyrics
    Used to be you and me
    got along together.
    Used to be so easy
    Now it's so hard.
    There's no laughter on your lips.
    There's no sparkle in your eyes
    but you don't need to worry anymore
    I see the writing on the wall.

    Isn't there something
    you wanna tell me?
    Isn't there a story
    I oughta hear?
    I can feel it in my bones.
    There's somebody in my place
    but you don't need to hide it anymore
    I see the writing on the wall.

    Strange how I could not see
    what was right there in front of me!
    Why did it take so long?
    Baby, what's goin' on?
    Guess 'cause I love you so
    I didn't wanna know!

    So, you can skip the details.
    You can skip the numbers.
    Don't owe me no apology
    but no last names please.
    I was so proud but now I know
    it was a pride that goes before a fall.
    But you don't need to tell me anymore
    I see the writing on the wall.
