Poison

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, a dreary song for a dreary rainy day. Hope you enjoy.    Willie

No words were spoken
But this thing is broken
Can't even find the pieces any more
You're talking without reason
And your words are poison

You know I tried so hard
But deep inside I'm crying
You look at me but you still see him
You're talking without reason
And your words are poison

You can't forget him
Although he hurt you
You ain't ever gonna be free

Instrumental

So go ahead keep dreaming
He'll come back and love you
And in the meantime there's always me

But I can't stand the feeling
And honey now I'm leaving
I'll leave you to all your memories

Not dreary at all, Willie - just a lovely intimate song, well produced and performed. Nice vocals and super harmonies. Great job; well done.

Not dreary, but sad.  Very well presented.  You put a high degree of raw emotion in your singing.  Sounds like it comes from the heart.

I have listened to you enough Willie that I can hear a song pop up on my playlist and know that is you right away.... signature sound.  Good songwriting.  If I wrote a song like this my wife would be saying to me "is that about me?"  I do think this song describes a classic human condition.  I have seen it a bit in my life...even had a bit of it.  You really did a nice job with the keyboard sounds in the back there....
I kind of like rainy days... it is a good time to play music isn't it?  Thanks Willie!

I agree with John

Just a well crafted sad song, sung with emotion. I always marvel at your songwriting skill, Willie.
When I returned to this site a few months ago, it had been a few years since I heard your music. Was great to hear you were still creating such nice work.
