If I Could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel Is Dead) Songtext / Lyric

Got a message in my head

That the papers had all come

Richard Manuel is dead

And the daylight's coming on



I've been wandering through the dark

Now I'm standing on the lawn



If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you



Well, it was cold when I awoke

And the day was halfway done

Nearly spring in San Francisco

And I cannot feel the sun



You were sleeping next to me

But I knew that you'd be gone






If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you



Take some time before you go

To think of Mondays coming down

And the people that you knew

And the ones that aren't around



You've been fading day to day

I've been moving town to town



If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you



If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you
