Joan Baez - If I Wrote You lyrics

I never thought you were
The letter writing type
So now I see the words you
Chose the way you write
So I started to write back about
The trees in the snow and I saw a bird
Couldn't see what it was but
I thought you'd know you always surprised me

And if I wrote you if I wrote you
You wouldknow me
And you would not write me again
And when the spring came and
Flooded all the streams
It's like how you got the night
You told me all you dreams
And when the barn roof sagged
After an icy bout
It's like how you got when you knew
The truth was the only way out
But not the only way

And if I wrote you if I wrote you
You wouldknow me
And you would not write me again

We drew our arms around the bastard sons
We never would drink to the chosen ones
Well you know the way I left
Was not the way I planned
But I thought the world needed
Love and a steady hand so I'm steady now

And I'm so happy i had to tell you
And I love you
And you will not write me again
You will not write me again
You will not write me again
