Steemit Open Mic Week 112 "Wasted Time" The Eagles cover by @gibber

in #openmic5 years ago

This is my 50th consecutive week entry for open mic. I was in a music studio just trying to get the feel of recording on real equipment. My brother is going to school to learn how to do professional recordings and today we were just messing around with the equipment and material. I have always loved this song but am just now learning it. "Wasted Time" off of the Eagles Hotel California album. I hope you enjoy.

"Wasted Time"

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
And it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.
And you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over?
You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone this far down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no, you just loved the boy too well,
Farewell
So you live from day to day, and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind from wonderin' what
I left behind and from worrying 'bout this wasted time

Oh, another love has come and gone
Oh, and the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone."
So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find , that it wasn't really wasted time
Mm, hm
Oh hoo, ooh, oh,
Ooh, ooh, mm
