Townes Van Zandt
No Place to Fall
[Chorus]
If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down?
[Verse]
Well, I'd never tell you no lies
I don't believe it's wise
You got pretty eyes
Won't you spin me 'round?
I ain't much of a lover, it's true
Well, I'm here, then I'm gone
And I'm forever blue
But I'm sure wanting you
Skies full of silver and gold
Try to hide the sun
But it can't be done
Least not for long
And if we help each other grow
While the light of day
Smiles down our way
Ah, we can't go wrong
Well, time, she's a fast old train
She's here, then she's gone
And she won't come again
Won't you take my hand?
[Chorus]
If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down?
