Amy Winehouse (14th Sep 1983- 23rd July 2011) Tragic Tragic Loss
Goddess of your generation
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

My friend Hollie Webb likes this picture.
