Well I stared so long, at these pictures of you, that I almost believed that they're real.

 

[The Large One]

Sorry to be PEDANTIC, but I think you were 21 when you wrote it, and 22 'now'...

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge

Loneliness Is a cloak you wear A deep shade of blue Is always there

 

[Buzzer]

Correct. 'Twas Paul Simon.

An ending fitting for the start, You twisted and tore our love apart
