Van Zandt, Townes - No Place To Fall Lyrics






If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down?

I'd never tell you no lies
I don't believe it's wise
You got pretty eyes
Won't you spin me 'round

I ain't much of a lover it's true
I'm here then I'm gone
And I'm forever blue
But I'm sure wanting you

Skies full of silver and gold

Try to hide the sun
But it can't be done
Least not for long

And if we help each other grow
While the light of day
Smiles down our way
Then we can't go wrong

Time, she's a fast old train
She's here then she's gone
And she won't come again
Won't you take my hand

If I had no place to fall
And I needed to
Could I count on you
To lay me down?

  9. L.... d....

    Sure!😘

  10. t.... ....

    Overproduced. The purity and excellence of a young TVZ with just guitar and voice cannot be improved upon.

    t.... ....

    I agree for much of his studio stuff but I really like the production on this track.

  11. R.... Z....

    Well if I had no place to fall and I needed to

  19. S.... S....

    My favorite TVZ song too. It reminds me of a relationship or two during my college days, long long ago.

  20. G.... P....

    Ain't no lover like an honest one!!!

  21. J.... W....

    The melancholy in his voice seems so heavy, and yet, he was able to write and sing about it...all to Townes' credit.

    J.... W....

    +Julia Walsh "Melancholy" and "heavy" were the exact words I was thinking while I listened. They settle in my chest and literally make my heart hurt.

  22. M.... F....

    Just amazing

  23. e.... c....

    è il mio artista preferito,lo ascolto sin dagli anni 70 ma è come se fosse la prima volta e non credo che ci sarà un'altro TOWENES VAN ZANDT.

  24. I.... G....

    If I had no place to fall
    And I needed to
    Could I count on you
    To lay me down?

    I'd never tell you no lies
    I don't believe it's wise
    You got pretty eyes
    Won't you spin me 'round

    I ain't much of a lover, it's true
    I'm here, then I'm gone
    And I'm forever blue
    But I'm sure wanting you

    Skies full of silver and gold
    Try to hide the sun
    But it can't be done
    Least not for long

    And if we help each other grow
    While the light of day
    Shines down our way
    Then we can't go wrong

    Time, she's a fast old train
    She's here, then she's gone
    And she won't come again
    Won't you take my hand

    If I had no place to fall
    And I needed to
    Could I count on you
    To lay me down?

    I.... G....

    Thank for lyrics !

    I.... G....

    I.... G....

    Inge Guo take the lust out of your heart and listen again.

  25. T.... #....

    Time she's a fast old train, she's here then she's gone and she won't come again. I love this song!!! Thanks Townes!.

  26. H.... D....

    A friend just sent this to me after I had a rough time. I'm sure I'll stop crying soon.

  27. R.... Z....

    What a gifted writer and performer, another gone way too soon, his music will live on for generations to enjoy.

    R.... Z....

    Ron Zykan
    Shame he never got the recognition his talents warranted while alive. A wizard of his craft. So happy I eventually discovered him a few years back.

  28. E.... W....

    Great stuff. Our band's lead singer is largely influenced by this music. Check it out if you get a chance. Peace!!

    E.... W....

    Ed Word & The Misinformation Superhighway that is a damn lie

  29. S.... J....

    Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for posting.

  30. M.... M....

    This song just encapsulates so much life. Beatiful! TVZ is simply the best song writer who ever walked on this earth. A true texas legend!

    M.... M....

    Its him, Dylan or Cohen to me. Dylan personally. The more I listen to Townes though, man never wrote a bad song, cant say that about the other 2.

  31. D.... C....

    Townes had no end of people to reach out to.  the "choice is taken."   not taking the choice is a choice.  I support Townes.  

  32. P.... B....

    Beautiful song, I guess I've been lucky, somebody gave me a place to fall 13 years ago and she's still catching me now.

    P.... B....

    Good for you, Paul, I hope you're doing mighty fine.

    P.... B....

    It's not luck Brother. You're Blessed!

  33. L.... S....

    Everytime I hear his songs....I get this tightness in my throat, this sadness in my heart. I wish you had reached out to someone,.......and they would have taken your hand and led you to that place of perfect peace that you were always seeking.

    L.... S....

    I just flat out cry like a baby when I hear one of his songs

  34. R.... ....

    Bitter sweet... Life is a funny old lobster sometimes...

  35. s.... ....

    Beautiful song. I first heard it when Dean Ford who used to be with The Marmalade did it at a concert I went to. I fell in love with the song then and it hasn't lost any of its beauty since. Thanks for posting.

  36. G.... ....

    My favorite TVZ song tooo, Twodawgzz. Thanks for posting.

  37. 1.... ....

    He sings with feeling that tell a story. Simple song that is great. The strings are sweet music to the ears. Those lyrics do have great meaning. If sung to me by a certain man (who will never know this) I would have to answer YES I would lay you down!!!
    That strong and clear voice is one of the best I have ever heard. Reminds me of a very good songwriter/singer friend of mine.
    I even like the old chair in the picture. Got one just like it....lol.

  38. d.... ....

    Hello - great to hear this song - i got somewhere to fall

  39. l.... ....

    Matt Krebs I will always think of you when I hear this song. Many memories of many good & not so good times. In the end its all good, love you forever even if I never see you again.

  40. c.... ....

    My best friend introduced me to this song ... and he asked that same question at the end of it.
    I said: of course I would.

  41. c.... ....

    @onjohns1 we were playing this song in the car on our holiday trip...it didn't dawn on me then that it was the anniversary...I'm really glad we were playing it. The Nashville Sessions - the version I love and know best.

  42. o.... ....

    15 years ago today Townes passed away.

    We miss you and we love you. Thank you for all the great music.

  43. J.... M....

    Thank you for posting this, Twodawgzz.

  44. T.... F....

    Townes Van Zandt is one of my favorite song writers. His slightly off-key simple voice somehow fits with his songs, and makes them quite believable.

  45. f.... ....

    Just heard this in a movie called Helen - nice

  46. K.... ....

    @Twodawgzz i sure dont, this is the only song i have heard from him so far.

  47. T.... ....

    @Kamichaos2121 Do you know the song "Marie" by Townes Van Zandt?

  48. K.... ....

    this song makes me feel like he is sitting right next to me. I get so worried cause ridding in box cars is so dangerous. there are times i dont hear from him for months. he will have been on the road a year in February. I cant wait to see him again someday....

  49. K.... ....

    a little story about this song. I got an email from my ex fiance. he sent me the song and the lyrics. Him and I were homeless together when we were 19. We promised never to leave one another side. as time went by, we got a home together never fought then he went to jail for 3 months. when he got out he started riding freight trains traveling the country, and I'm still home. With a new boyfriend, i still talk to him all the time. still say i love you to him every chance i get..

  50. S.... H....
