Lyric No place to fall

by Townes Van Zandt

If I had no place to fall
and I needed to
could I count on you
to lay me down?


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
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
then we can t go wrong


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


If I had no place to fall
and I needed to
could I count on you
to lay me down?
