A tale of loss and regret told in the manner of a Mexican ragtime cowboy song. <br /><br /> "WASN'T WE A PAIR" LYRICS: Wasn't I your man Wasn't you my gal I was lucky then I had it all What did I say To make you cry like that You showed me the door You handed me my hat What can I say I ain't already said I miss your voice I miss our bed Wasn't we in love Wasn't we a pair I reach in the dark And find you ain't there What am I now Not much of a man I sleep where I lie down I work where I can I wait for the day When you call me home Ain't half what I used to be But I'm twice as alone post:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.2254 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:58:47 -0800 Astro Zombie cowboy mexican regret spanish ukulele vocal http://music.metafilter.com/2254/Wasnt-We-a-Pair#10634 This one, I think, fits in this format than I'm the Same Man. The rubato feel works nicely too. Cool idea for a project! comment:music.metafilter.com,2008:site.2254-10634 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:08:38 -0800 danb
