Lyrics Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt

All I Need

Tried everything

Set me free

But my chains keep playin' tricks on me

And all I need is a place to lay 'em down

My friends, they speak

And the words ain't lies

Like clouds of fish they fly

And all I need is a boat

To take 'em home

And girls I see

They see me

Then we'll say goodbye

All I need is a bed

To call my own

Ah my baby's eyes

See how they shine

For his life be like mine

All I need

Is a way

To take his load

Oh but when good times

Come fallin' over me

Breath turns to melody

All I need's gonna fall

Away like dreams
