If You Could Touch Her At All – Bill Callahan (originally by Willie Nelson)
By
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
