Hello forum friends! Just listened to a number of wonderful tunes....will continue to catch up. Have not been around too much lately but I'll continue to catch up in the next week or so. Hope everyone is safe and well. I write a lot of songs from my own era (60's and 70's). When I branched out to become more versatile, I went further back in time instead of toward the present. I love the 40's and 50's. Would have loved to have pitched this one to "old blue eyes". Always love to hear your thoughts! Take care. Greg

Whatyadone to me

Baby, whatyadone to me
Sorrow like my heart has never known
You awakened a long forgotten part of me
Then you ran off and left me alone

The poets speak of those who’ve loved and lost
As somehow better than those who’ve never loved at all
I’m no poet, but baby when I weigh the cost
Soaring high was just not worth the fall

Once upon a time, my dreams were untethered
There was no place my heart couldn’t go
Now I am lost, and my spirit is weathered
I just don’t know how to let go

Baby, whatyadone to me
In the wee hours, I walk the lonely streets
And the shadows stretch out like a lonely sea
In such darkness, I can’t find my feet

And the whiskey barely helps to ease the pain
As the sad songs pour into my soul
The echo of a lover’s loss, the sad refrain
Play out in this bottomless hole
