If I Needed You

By townes van zandt



If i needed you

Would you come to me,

Would you come to me,

And ease my pain?

If you needed me

I would come to you

I'd swim the seas

For to ease your pain





In the night forlorn

The morning's born

And the morning shines

With the lights of love

You will miss sunrise

If you close your eyes

That would break

My heart in two





The lady's with me now

Since i showed her how

To lay her lily

Hand in mine

Loop and lil agree

She's a sight to see

And a treasure for

The poor to find
