It's Since You Went Away

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, not interested in weddings or football and I refuse to go decorating all day so knocked this together this afternoon as I'm way down on my playing time this year.  Hope you enjoy.   Willie

I guess you should have told me
What I was doing wrong
I just wanted you to hold me
All night long
But life's getting harder, harder by the day
And don't you know
It's since you went away

I guess you should have shown me
The things I should have known
How to hold you tenderly
The way that true love's grown
But life's getting harder, harder by the day
And don't you know
It's since you went away

Ain't no good in looking back
Wishing things would change
Miracles don't happen here
Now ain't that strange

I guess you should have told me
What I was doing wrong
I just wanted you to hold me
All night long
But life's getting harder, harder by the day
And don't you know
It's since you went away

I too am not interested in Football or Weddings Willie, in fact, these days I seem to be at more funerals than weddings.
Another top class number my friend has the style of Roy Orbison.

Alex.

[Kenneth]

I'm with you both on the disdain of weddings and football. American football that is 🏈, "soccer" is great! I'm happy for Harry though.👍

Great tune Willie, I can't think of a more worthwhile day than what you did here. Very nice.

[kenny mac]

Excellent willie,I'm getting that Roy Orbison vibe too.
Lovely guitar work and crystal clear vocal.
A great way to spend the day.
bravo.

[Redler]

I liked this right from the start! Beautiful and melodic tune with excellent harmonies!

[T.C. Elliott]

Sounds good, Willie. I love the classic sounding melody and the guitar fills a lot.

[SE]

Yes cool work, always great to get a tune down. Done the exact opposite watched the wedding with the wife and watched the cup final, the Scottish one that is.
Excellent guitar and vocals with cool songwriting, enjoyed it lots!

[Ferryman_1957]

Lovely work Willie, great vocals as always and beautiful guitar work. Your music is so consistently strong I'm amazed you can produce so much material. Very well done, keep it up!

[cuthbert]

Another beauty, Willie. I do love a sad song, especially when it's done with your jangly guitars.
