Joe Walsh – Meadows

From his 1973 album “The Smoker You Drink, The Player You get”. The song never charted but the guitar riff sounds a lot like “My Woman From Tokyo” by Deep Purple but Joe had been working on this song since before he left the James Gang. It seems to be the case that Both Joe Walsh and Deep Purple came up with the same guitar riff on their own.

 

Meadows

Can’t think of any reason
Don’t know exactly why
Must be it’s out of season
Give it another try
I’m out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin’ around to fall
Some things are left unspoken
Some things are hand me down
The circle stands unbroken
Sendin’ it back around
I’ve seen you roll in clover
Dressed for a scarecrow wall
Too bad the dance is over
Nothin’ to show at all
Can’t help but feel uncertain
Knowing which way to turn
They want to raise the curtain
And you’re holdin’ the words to learn
I’m out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin’ around to fall
Songwriters: Joseph Fidler Walsh / Patrick Cullie
