If Not For You

If not for you, babe I couldn’t find the door

Couldn’t even see the floor

I’d be sad and blue, if not for you.

If not for you, babe  I’d lay awake all night

Wait for the morning light

To shine in through

But it will not be new, if not for you.

If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too

Without your love I’d be nowhere at all

I’d be lost if not for you and you know it’s true.

Oh what would I do if not for you?

If not for you, winter would have no spring

I couldn’t hear the robins sing

I just wouldn’t have a clue

Anyway it wouldn’t ring true, if not for you

If not for you, if not for you…

Bob Dylan

 

"Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak

Reveal yourself all now to me girl while you’ve got the strength to speak"

"I could give it all to you now if only you could ask"

"But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way

Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way"

"And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?

And you should know that’s true

I came for you, for you, I came for you

But you didn’t need my urgency

I came for you, for you, I came for you

But your life was one long emergency"
