With Emmylou Harris

Written by 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

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
