Lyrics Townes Van Zandt

Townes Van Zandt

When She Don't Need Me

When she don't need me, it makes me crazy

She say, rest easy and it makes me lazy

But when she please me, she please me all night long

My friends are leavin', she say, don't worry

They're only leavin', there is no parting

You will be lonely, I will be here with you

On the winds of darkness, the light is soring

And chains are bonded, freedom is singing

Cling to the darkness until you've turned to song

Well, the blues shall wash me and sun shall dry me

The world will hide me but she will find me

And when she find me, she will take me home

Well, when she don't need me, it makes me crazy

She say, rest easy and it makes me lazy

But when she please me, she please me all night long
