i can not barely comprehend but a small sliver of the spectrum of light that robert hunter evoked in his songs. it is amazing to walk in the same world as him, and the messiah, and you. i have no business among the humble peasants or even the roaring great, but for a while i will try my best not to make any mess but a glorious mess out of things, of course starting with myself. don't cry.
anyway, the lyrics
If I had the world to give
I'd give it to you - long as you live
Would you let it fall
or hold it all in your arms?
If I had a song to sing
I'd sing it to you - as long as you live
Lullabye - or maybe a plain serenade
wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry
or be afraid at the trade you made?
I may not have the world to give to you
but maybe I have a tune or two
Only if you let me be your world
could I ever give this world to you,
could I ever give this world to you
But I will give what love I have to give
I will give what love I have to give
I will give what love I have to give
long as I live
If I had a star to give
I'd give it to you - long as you live
Would you have the time
to watch it shine - watch it shine
or ask for the moon and heaven too?
I'd give it to you.
Maybe I've got no star to spare
or anything fine or even rare
Only if you let me be your world
would I ever give this world to you
could I ever give this world to you
