If I Needed You feat Don Williams

(Townes van Zandt)



If I needed you

Would you come to me

Would you come to me

For to ease my pain

If you needed me

I would come to you

I would swim the seas

For to ease your pain.



Well, the night's forlorn

And the morning's born

And the morning shines

With the lights of love

And you'll miss sunrise

If you close your eyes

And that would break

My heart in two.



If I needed you

Would you come to me

Would you come to me

For to ease my pain

If you needed me

I would come to you

I would swim the seas

For to ease your pain.



Baby's with me now

Since I showed

Her how to lay

Her lilly hand in mine

Who would ill agree

(Luke and Lil agree)

She's a sight to see

A treasure for

The poor to find.



If I needed you

Would you come to me

Would you come to me

For to ease my pain

If you needed me

I would come to you

I would swim the seas

For to ease your pain...
