this is a new approach for me inspired by an old Fender Rhodes
rock country funk progres
Story behind the song
this is about a guy who's just getting tired of waiting around
Lyrics
What can I say?
I waited all night until I faded away
It seems there's been another mistake
I put a dime in the phone
It rang all night, I figured no one was home
You see, I waited oh so long
On the corner out in the rain
And the night went on and on
Until the operator got on the line and said
"Boy you're wasting time"
Fading away
Seems our love is growing in the shade
But don't shut your eyes before the lights grow dim
There's nothing left to say
But I'm fading away from the dream of you and I
What did I say?
Tell me baby why you'd ever want to treat me this way
I'm feeling so misunderstood
Was it something I said?
We could have talked it over if we'd only kept the plans that were made
If we only kept the plans that we made
But I waited oh, so long
On the corner out in the rain
And the night went on and on
Until the operator got on the line and said
"Boy, she must have lied"
Now I'm running out of time
I closed my eyes, 'cause I'm getting much too tired
I'm trying hard to stay awake...
You see, I waited oh so long
On the corner out in the rain
And the night went on and on
Until the operator got on the line and said
"Boy you're wasting time"
Fading away
Seems our love is growing in the shade
But don't shut your eyes before the lights grow dim
There's nothing left to say
But I'm fading away from the dream of you and I
What can I say?
I waited all night until I faded away...
