If I Could Give All My Love -Or- Richard Manuel Is Dead (Live Acoustic Version/2002)

Got a message in my head

That the papers had all gone

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

But 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

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
