Townes Van Zandt — Only Him or Me

[Verse 1] Don't go saying I'm leaving you I'm thinking I never got close enough to stay Time runs in and then runs out Starts again and it's always been that way You're gonna drown tomorrow If you cry too many tears for yesterday Tomorrow's half of all you've got Treat him good 'cause when I'm gone, he'll stay [Verse 2] I won't be forgetting you And you won't be forgetting me, I know With memory comes a summer cloud Rains her sweetness down to me below Well, I'll see you like you look right now Maybe wonder why I had to go But Heaven is the way she is And rain falls and rivers flow [Verse 3] So here's to feeling good And here's to feeling bad Here's to being thankful Sorry for the pleasures that we had And autumn days and window panes God forgive us if you feel deceived The clock don't know you like I do It's only him or me you got to believe
