Townes Van Zandt — Buckskin Stallion Blues

[Verse 1] I heard her sing in tongues of silver I heard her cry on a summer storm I loved her, but she did not know it So I don't think about her anymore Now she's gone and I can't believe it So I don't think about her anymore [Verse 2] If three and four were seven only Where would that leave one and two? If love can be and still be lonely Where does that leave me and you? Time there was and time there will be Where does that leave me and you? [Verse 3] If I had a buckskin stallion I'd tame him down and ride away If I had a flying schooner I'd sail into the light of day If I had your love forever Sail into the light of day [Verse 4] Pretty songs and pretty places Places that I've never seen Pretty songs and pretty faces Tell me what their laughter means Some look like they'll cry forever Tell me what their laughter means [Verse 5] If I had a buckskin stallion I'd tame him down and ride away And if I had a golden galleon I'd sail into the light of day If I had your love forever Sail into the light of day
