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

    General Comment:According to the liner notes in his anthology, Joe Walsh was working in a new studio with a 24-track recorder. He made an agreement with his bandmates to screw around for the first 15 seconds; whatever they did would be the song intro.
    But when they all went into the studio, nobody else recorded anything--save Joe and his demented scremaing. But he stayed true to the bet and kept it on there.
    And, in another interview, Joe said that "Meadows" was written before "My Woman from Tokyo"--if anything, they stole it from him, not the other way around.

    General Comment:All I know is that it uses a very similar riff to "Woman from Tokyo" Deep Purple
