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?
