What’s It All About?
This mournful, quasi-country ballad was another of the artistic by-products of the soap-opera year of 1991. It didn’t see too much live play when on my perpetual, intermittent coffeehouse tour… but I like the way it turned out when I finally recorded it. Seems to have a kind of Rolling Stones / Faces vibe (if I do say so myself…!)
The lyrics say it all… end of the road!
Lyrics:
Well, we used to share something
Seems like a long long time ago
Now it feels so cold and empty
Our love’s packed up and set to go
I did everything you wanted
I tried to keep my doubts inside
I tried faith, and I had patience
Told myself you had no reason to lie
I guess that’s why I’m feeling sad
I thought you
Were the best love I’d ever had
I guess it just goes to show
You said you thought we could survive
I wonder what it is you think we have
I know what I thought we were
But you’ve got to do more
If you want it to last
Last time I fell in love
I said
I’ve had enough
I guess that just goes to show
That’s it
We’ll say goodbye
And we can kid ourselves
We can say it’s “just for now”
Take back my things
Give you back yours
And stand beside ourselves
Before we walk away somehow
