17 May 02 - 07:25 PM (#712610) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If I Needed You From: GUEST,Reslems1@aol.com The lyrics posted above are correct with one exception. Above, it says, "who could ill agree". That is not what Townes wrote. He wrote, "Loop and Lil agree". Loop and Lil were his parakeets. (Said they didn't do very well on the road). -Res |

Trust me. But I do think that this message clears up the "Loop and Lil" conundrum quite nicely.

19 May 16 - 04:29 PM (#3791170) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: If I Needed You (Townes Van Zandt) From: GUEST,henryp Mr. Clark and wife Susanna were often in the 1970s company of Van Zandt, who wrote his own classic, "If I Needed You," in the spare bedroom of the Clarks' home on Chapel Avenue in East Nashville. "Townes Van Zandt is one of the reasons I started writing songs," Mr. Clark told musicologist Ben Sandmel in 1992. "He writes serious, he writes seriously funny. But he never rhymes moon-june-spoon to make a buck. It's more of a literary approach. His work is a great yardstick. He consistently keeps me honest." Peter Cooper The Tennessean 17 May 2016 |

19 May 16 - 04:34 PM (#3791171) Subject: ADD: If I Needed You (Townes Van Zandt) From: Joe Offer This is my transcription of a Townes Van Zandt recording of this song. We used this transcription in the Rise Again Songbook. IF I NEEDED YOU (Townes Van Vandt) CHORUS If I needed you would you come to me, Would you come to me and ease my pain? If you needed me I would come to you, I would swim the seas for to ease your pain. In the night forlorn, the morning's born, And the morning shines with the lights of love. You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes, That would break my heart in two. The lady's with me now since I showed her how To lay her lily hand in mine. Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see, A treasure for the poor to find. Townes Van Zandt On his Legend. Emmylou Harris & Don Williams Cimarron & recordings by Lyle Lovett, Andrew Bird, Guy Clark, Bobby Vee, Seldom Scene. In films Crazy Heart & Broken Circle Breakdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54Yk3xSYx4 I did find some recordings that had this for the last line of the chorus: "I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain." I don't think that scans as well. Many singers begin the last verse with, "Baby's with me now..." |
