  • 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

    If three and four was 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?

    If I had a buckskin stallion
    I'd tame him down and ride away.
    If I had a flyin' schooner
    I'd sail into the light of day
    If I had your love forever
    Sail into the light of day

    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.

    If I had a buckskin stallion
    I'd tame him down and ride away.
    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 Writer/s: Townes Van Zandt
