Desperado

I wanted to post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It's a song The Eagles recorded, called "Desperado". I loved the song from the moment I heard it for the first time. It has a beautiful melody, but it is especially the lyrics that touch me everytime I hear that song. The lyrics can be interpreted in several ways, I guess...and the song can have different meanings to different people. But I just think the lyrics are very touching and "deep." And the song always makes me cry. It is very "personal" to me. I can really relate to it in several different levels.

A beautiful song that I just wanted to share...

DESPERADO

(By The Eagles)

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now

Ohh you're a hard one

I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasin'you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado

Ohhhh you aint getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger

They're driving you home

And freedom, ohh freedom

Well that's just some people talking

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

And you're losing all your highs and lows

Aint it funny how the feeling goes away...

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin'

But there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

(Let sombody love you)

You better let somebody love you...before it's too.... late.
