Townes Van Zandt
If I Needed You
[Chorus: Emmylou Harris and Don Williams]
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 sea for to ease your pain
[Verse 1: Emmylou Harris]
Well the night's forlorn and the morning's born
And the morning's born with the lights of love
And you'll miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two
[Chorus: Emmylou Harris and Don Williams]
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 sea for to ease your pain
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 2: Don Williams]
Baby's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Who could ill agree she's a sight to see
A treasure for the poor to find
[Chorus: Emmylou Harris and Don Williams]
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 sea for to ease your pain
