Tribute to Townes Van Zandt

TVZ


You words were full of wonder
Songs that made it clear
Life full of love and living
As you wandered far and near

Chorus

Maybe you’ll sing road songs
Or fingerpick the blues
I guess you’ll be more famous
Since I heard the news

And even through the darkness
When the blues they came to stay
You suffered through the lonely hours
Until the dawn of day

You touched the hearts of many
With your simple songs and strife
No better gift to give
Than the poetry of your life.
