Songs of love and heartbreak 53

The song is by Townes Van Zandt and it belongs, by right, in any listing under this head. 'No Place To Fall' begins as follows:

If I had no place to fall,
And I needed to,
Could I count on you
To lay me down?

I'd never tell you no lies.
Don't believe its wise.
But you got pretty eyes.
Won't you spin me round?

I ain't much of a lover, its true.
I'm here, then I'm gone,
And I'm forever blue.
But I'm sure wantin' you.

Whether the plea is irresistible I leave you to judge for yourself, but the song kind of makes it sound more convincing than it otherwise might. The best version of it known to me is this cover by Steve Earle.

Here it is by Townes himself.
