Eddie's POV

#############################

The telephone's been ringin' - ringin' off the wall
It's your Las Vegas lawyer - another long distance call
He says you get the house and the car
And I get the clothes I got on
Now she's gone
Long, long, long, long gone
Now I'm a happy boy

#############################

Catherine and I are over. Or so she says. She filed for divorce, but I'm not sure I believe her yet. We were good together, Catherine and I. Hell, we even had a kid together.

I suppose things started unraveling when Cat started working with dead people. She started studying then Grissom got her that damn job.

Grissom. I blame him for some of this.

###############################

She's long, long, long, long gone
Operator get me Manhatten - get my baby on the line
Sooner or later she's gotta realize
That all my feelin's were for real
But maybe she was leadin' me on

############################

Having sex with Melanie while Catherine was in town wasn't the best idea I've ever had.

But I had to get satisfaction somewhere. Cat didn't have time for me anymore. She was always out working cases, most of the time with Grissom.

It was a hell of a lot easier when she was dancing. The men there only looked…they never touched.

#############################

She's long, long, long, long gone
She took the frigidaire
She got my favorite chair
You could say she got the best of me

########################

Catherine had two addictions in her life. Coke and me.

I'm not sure why she was addicted to me, but we used to be insatiable around each other. Sex all the time.

Then once she was around Grissom, it stopped. Seems she was getting her kicks somewhere else.

The question is…what does he have that I don't?

############################

It's like a legal crime
But in a matter of time
She'll be back for the rest of me
