Like a Summer Thursday is yet another example of the brilliance of Townes Van Zandt. He packs so much emotion in 12 lines using simple everyday words. Wow.


Like A Summer Thursday
Townes Van Zandt


Her face was crystal fair and fine
Her breath was morning her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter her touch divine
Her face was crystal and she was mine


If only she could feel my pain
But feelin' is a burden she can't sustain
So like a summer Thursday I cry for rain
To come and turn the ground to green again

If only she could her my songs
'Bout the empty difference' tween the rights and wrongs
then I know that I could stand alone 
As well as they now that she's gone

Her face was crystal fair and fine
Her breath was morning her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter her touch divine
Her face was crystal and she was mine
