Only Him Or Me Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Don't go sayin' I'm leaving you 

Thinkin' I never got close enough to stay 

Time runs in and then runs out 

Starts again and it's always been that way 

You're gonna drown tomorrow 

If you cry too many tears for yesterday 

Tomorrow's half of all you've got, so treat him good 

'Cause when I'm gone, he'll stay 

I won't be forgetting you 

You won't be forgettin' me, I know 

If memory comes a summer cloud 

Rains her sweetness down to me below 

I see you like you look right now 

Maybe wonder why I had to go 

But Heaven is the way she is 

Rain falls and rivers flow 

So here's to feelin' good 

An' here's to feelin' bad 

Here's to bein' thankful 

Sorry for the pleasures that we had 

And autumn days ,and window panes 

God, forgive us if you feel deceived 

The clock don't know you like I do 

And it's only him or me you got to believe
