For The Sake Of The Song - Townes Van Zandt[00:00:02]
Why does she sing these sad songs for me[00:00:05]
I'm not the one to tenderly bring her soft sympathy[00:00:09]
I've just begun to see my way clear it's plain if I stop I will fall[00:00:17]
I can lay down a tear for her pain a tear and that's all[00:00:29]
What does she want me to do [00:00:37]
She says that she knows moments are rare[00:00:41]
I suppose that it's true and on she goes to say[00:00:45]
I don't care when she knows that I do[00:00:52]
Well maybe she just has to sing[00:01:00]
For the sake of the song[00:01:03]
And who do I think that I am[00:01:09]
To decide that she's wrong[00:01:11]
She'd like to think I was cruel she knows that's a lie[00:01:28]
For I would be no more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me[00:01:34]
Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans[00:01:45]
If she could see how I feel then I know she'd understand[00:01:53]
Does she actually think I'm to blame [00:02:02]
Does she really believe that some word of mine[00:02:07]
Could relieve all her pain [00:02:12]
Can't she see that she grieves just[00:02:14]
Because she's been blindly deceived by her shame [00:02:17]
Well maybe she just has to sing[00:02:25]
For the sake of the song[00:02:28]
And who do I think that I am[00:02:34]
To decide that she's wrong[00:02:37]
I know nothings what it seems maybe one day she'll start to realize[00:02:54]
That if she abandons her dreams[00:03:02]
Then all the words she can say are only lies[00:03:05]
When will she see that the gain is only to lose [00:03:11]
All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse[00:03:19]
But it's only to herself that she's lied[00:03:27]
She likes to pretend it's something[00:03:32]
That she should defend with her pride[00:03:34]
And I don't intend to stand here[00:03:40]
And be the friend from whom she must hide[00:03:43]
Well maybe she just has to sing[00:03:50]
For the sake of the song[00:03:53]
And who do I think that I am[00:03:59]
To decide that she's wrong[00:04:01]
Well maybe she just has to sing[00:04:06]
For the sake of the song[00:04:10]
