If I Needed You

Lyrics: Townes Van Zandt
Music: Townes Van Zandt

Sung by Greg Loiacono with Phil Lesh and others in December 2018.

Well, 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

Well, in the night forlorn
Oh, the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
And you will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
And 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

Well, 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
