I heard her sing in tongues of silver
I heard her cry on a summer storm
I loved her but she did not know it
So I don't think about her anymore

Now she's gone and I can't believe it
So I don't think about her anymore

If three and four was seven only
Where would that leave one and two?
If love can be and still be lonely
Where does that leave me and you?

Time there was, and time there will be
Where does that leave me and you?

If I had a buckskin stallion
I'd tame him down and ride away
If I had a flyin' schooner
I'd sail into the light of day

If I had your love forever
Sail into the light of day

Pretty songs and pretty places
Places that I've never seen
Pretty songs and pretty faces
Tell me what their laughter means

Some look like they'll cry forever
Tell me what their laughter means

If I had a buckskin stallion
I'd tame him down and ride away
If I had a golden galleon
I'd sail into the light of day

If I had your love forever
Sail into the light of day

That's a right good man, that Townes Van Zandt. Tad too earnest-y for my more Little Steven-tacking taste. But no doubt the barkeep, when cleaning up around 3am, would say "There went a good man" about TVZ before turning out the lights... for a spell.

Townes Van Zandt would have been 75 today. American legend.

I am quite fond of Amy Annelle's cover of this song, used in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

I came to learn of him only recently.  Such a great talent and an influence on so many artists.

Townes Van Zandt; a legend, an original, an inspiration to many great artists. Gone far too soon.

The pic in front of the kitchen sink is classic.

Interesting choice for a Townes song. So far it has been difficult to get Bill to add Townes to the library. I guess he is going for the lesser known songs by Townes.
