(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Red telephone sitting by my bed
3
Practically bore your name
4
Lying alone in the twilight zone
5
Waiting for your call to come in
6
Hadn't been for the kid
7
Who was sleeping upstairs
8
You'd have found me well on my way
9
On that midnight plane to L. A.
10
You suffered sweeter for me
11
Than anyone I've ever known
12
I dared to look into the years
13
Would you still have your wife?
14
I dared to peer through my tears
15
Could we ever have a life?
16
Even thought I was pregnant by you
17
But I didn't care
18
I just talked to my son
19
Would he mind another one?
20
You suffered sweeter for me
21
Than anyone I've ever known
22
Once more the mist rolls to the sea
23
Like a hundred times we've known
24
Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped
25
Where the wind had blown
26
How I dread when the evening comes
27
And I cannot be
28
What you want me to be
29
When you are next to me
30
How silent you are as the veils come down
31
Before my eyes
32
Soft and reserved as you move away
33
Donning your disguise
34
While every folk song that I ever knew
35
Once more comes true
36
And loves grows old
37
And waxes cold
38
You suffered sweeter for me
39
Than anyone I've ever known
40
Just one favor of you, my love
41
If I should die today
42
Take me down to where the hills
43
Meet the sea on a stormy day
44
Ride a ridge on a snow white horse
45
And throw my ashes away
46
To the wind and the sand
47
Where my song began
48
You suffered sweeter for me
49
Than anyone I've ever known
50
