Track #6 on Andrew Bird’s seventh full-length studio album Hands of Glory.
A cover of the original song “If I Needed You” by Townes Van Zandt.
[Verse 1]
If I needed you would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain
[Verse 2]
In the night forlorn, when the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two
[Verse 3]
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
To put her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see
And a treasure for the poor to find
If I Needed You was written by Townes Van Zandt.
If I Needed You was produced by Andrew Bird.
Andrew Bird released If I Needed You on Tue Oct 30 2012.
