will you do the same for me?


[verse 1]

We're both carrying the scars,

of loves, that went all wrong.

That never got as far as,

picking out our special song.

[verse 2]

Not lookin' for a heartbreak,

I've had my share of those.

If I play the game again,

I just can't afford to lose.

[chorus]

Another trail, that's goin' nowhere.

Will you be better, well we'll see?

If I take my chances with you,

will you do the same for me?

[verse 3]

As you reach across the table,

take my hand and my heart.

Hold them with tenderness,

Don't let them come apart.

[chorus]

Another trail, that's goin' nowhere.

Will you be better, well we'll see?

If I take my chances with you,

will you do the same for me?

[bridge]

Been there and done that,

these days I don't need it anymore.

Here today and gone tomorrow,

that's not what I'm lookin' for.

[chorus]

Another trail, that's goin' nowhere.

Will you be better, well we'll see?

If I take my chances with you,

will you do the same for me?

[outro]

If I take my chances with you,

will you do the same for me?


will you do the same for me?

[Fade to End]

  • A good song Sid. I like the choice of a female vocalist, it feels like it's written from a female perspective, though there's nothing definitive in the lyric itself.

    I don't think it has quite the spark of your best lyrics - but you've set a high standard. This one is rock solid, but it doesn't grab me in quite the same way as some of your others.

    I was surprised how far back I had to scroll in Soundcloud to find it! Your amassing quite a collection!

    Thanks RDM, since our collab and my exposure to "dirty blues", I've had my horizons broadened.

    Trying different genres and sounds I normally wouldn't have considered. Baby steps on new ground, so to speak.

    I've got a couple of dozen of new and old type songs in the draft folder ready to come off the slip.

    Looking forward to getting your opinions so I can refine the techniques.

    We live in interesting times.

    Sid
