Lyrics If You Could Touch Her at All - Bill Callahan

If You Could Touch Her at All

Funny a woman can come on so wild and so free
Yet insist I don’t watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by my bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lay down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
Yeah, one night of lovin' don’t make up for six nights alone
But I’d rather have one than none Lord, 'cause I’m flesh and bone
And sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all
That she could be worth the world or if you could touch her at all
A right or wrong, a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hands
And leave him as weak and weary as a new born child
Struggling to catch his first breath and open his eyes
Yeah, one night of lovin' don’t make up for six nights alone
But I’d rather have one than none Lord, 'cause I’m flesh and bone
And sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all
That she could be worth the world or if you could touch her at all
