Cover art for Bell Bottom Blues lyrics by Derek and the Dominos

This song really resonated with me when I lost a girl I loved. I actually broke it off because I was scared of family conflicts, and after several months tried to go back to her, but she wouldn't open herself up again. She wanted to throw away or give back everything I had ever given her, and it felt to me that doing so would cause me to fade away and disappear from her heart. Maybe it is about Patti, but she had rebuffed him at some point.
