Townes Van Zandt — When She Don't Need Me lyrics

Lyrics

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
