I tried to leave you (1974-1985)

Read the original lyrics of the song

Frankfurt 06/10/74

This is a song from the marriage chamber

Montreux  25/06/76

I've written many songs of parting. Don't wanna feel that I'm leaving you anywhere that I'm not going. Anyhow, this is a song of staying. It's one of those delirious songs of monotony called marriage. This is a song written out of my old age, my middle-age, my wrinkles, my weakness, and my failures called "Je voulais te quitter" (I Tried To Leave You").

Paris  06/06/76
