Lyrics When She Don't Need Me - Townes Van Zandt

When She Don't Need Me

When she don’t need me, it makes me crazy
She say rest easy and it makes me lazy
But when she please me, she please me all night long
My friends are leaving, she say don’t worry
They’re only leaving, there is no parting
You will be lonely, I will be here with you
On the wings of darkness, the light is soaring
And chains are bonded, freedom is singing
Cling to the darkness until you’ve turned to song
Well, the blues shall wash me and the sun shall dry me
The world will hide me but she will find me
And when she find me, she will take me home
Well when she don’t need me, it makes me crazy
She say rest easy and it makes me lazy
But when she please me, she please me all night long
