If I Could Give All My Love (richard Manuel Is Dea Lyrics

If I Could Give All My Love (richard Manuel Is Dea

"Got a message in my head

that the papers had all gone

Richard Manuel is dead

And the daylight's coming on

I've been wandering through the dark

now I'm standing on the lawn



If I could give all my love to you

I could justify myself

but I'm just not coming through

You're a pill to ease the pain

of all the stupid things I do

I'm an anchor on the line

of a clock that tells the time

that is running out on you



Well it was cold when i woke

and the day was halfway done

Nearly spring in San Francisco

but I cannot feel the sun

you were sleeping next to me

but I knew that you'd be gone



If I could give all my love to you

I could justify myself

but I'm just not coming through

You're a pill to ease the pain

of all the stupid things I do

I'm an anchor on the line

of a clock that tells the time

that is running out on you



Take some time before you go

think of monday's coming down

and the people that you knew

The ones that aren't around

you've been fading day to day

I've been moving town to town



If I could give all my love to you

I could justify myself

but I'm just not coming through

You're a pill to ease the pain

of all the stupid things i do

I'm an anchor on the line

of a clock that tells the time

that is running out on you"
