If I Wrote You-Joan Baez

[00:15.06]I never thought you were the letter writing type [00:21.66]So now I see the words you chose the way you write [00:28.20]So I started to write back about the trees in the snow [00:35.01]And I saw a bird, couldn't see what it was but I thought you'd know [00:40.65]You always surprised me [00:45.27]And if I wrote you [00:45.60]If I wrote you [00:45.84]You wouldknow me [01:04.86]And you would not write me again [01:17.04]And when the spring came and flooded all the streams [01:23.37]It's like how you got the night you told me all you dreams [01:30.42]And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout [01:36.87]It's like how you got when you knew the truth was the only way out [01:42.57]But not the only way [01:52.05]And if I wrote you [02:06.81]If I wrote you [02:07.05]You wouldknow me [02:08.01]And you would not write me again [02:18.90]We drew our arms around the bastard sons [02:25.68]We never would drink to the chosen ones [02:32.28]Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned [02:38.97]But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand [02:44.79]So I'm steady now [02:47.58]And I'm so happy [02:59.34]I had to tell you [03:00.15]And I love you [03:09.09]And you will not write me again [03:10.65]You will not write me again [03:14.31]You will not write me again
