lirik lagu for the sake of the song (live july 1973) – townes van zandt
[verse 1]
why does she sing
her sad songs for me, i’m not the one
to tenderly bring
her soft sympathy, i’ve just begun
to see my way clear and it’s plain
if i stop i will fall
i can lay down a tear for her pain
just a tear and that’s all
what does she want me to do?
she says that she knows
that moments are rare, i suppose that it’s true
then on she goes
to say i don’t care, and she knows that i do
[chorus]
maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
who do i think that i am to decide that she’s wrong?
[verse 2]
she’d like to think i was cruel
but she knows that’s a lie for i would be
no more than a tool
if i allowed her to cry all over me
aw my sorrow is real even though
i can’t change my plans
if she could see how i feel then i know
that she’d understand
or does she actually think i’m to blame?
does she really believe that some word of mine
could relieve all her pain?
can’t she see that she grieves
just because she’s been blindly deceived
by her shame?
[chorus]
aw but maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
and who do i think that i am to decide that she’s wrong?
[verse 3]
nothin’s what it seems
maybe she’ll start some day to realize
if she abandons her dreams
then all the words she can say are only lies
aw when will she see that to gain
is only to lose?
all that she offers me are her chains
i got to refuse
ah but it’s only to herself that she’s lied
she likes to pretend
there’s something that she should defend
with her pride
and i don’t intend
to stand here and be the friend
from whom she must hide
[chorus]
aw but maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
who do i think that i am to decide that she’s wrong?
maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
