about

Things that a songwriter needs: words, tunes, certainty that it's any good at all, and, most of all, time. Audiences seem to hear it as a love song, but it might be more of a song about the sense of inadequacy that anyone with any sensitivity has to live with.

lyrics

If I had the words I would say them to you
Poor as I am, poor as I am
Words of an errant heart trying to be true
I have so little I can give

If I had the tunes, all the melodies sweet
Poor as I am, poor as I am
I would pour them out before you, cool water in the heat
I have so little I can give

If I had the certainty that others seem to know
Poor as I am, poor as I am
I would melt away your doubts and fears, fire in the snow
I have so little I can give

If I had the time that I wasted on the way
Poor as I am, poor as I am
I would live with you a lifetime in every shining day
I have so little I can give

If I had the words I would say them to you
Poor as I am, poor as I am
Words of an errant heart trying to be true
I have so little I can give
