Desperado (The Eagles Cover)

about

I had always loved this song and I wanted to give it an update using the vocal embellishments and ornamentations in a way that wasn't excessive but still emphasized the emotional power and longing of the song and its melody.

lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you 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, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh, freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences, open the gate
and it may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you before it's too late
