Townes Van Zandt(1944-1997) was a singer-songwriter, born in Texasto a life on the road. Van Zandt was master of the small, intimate folkperformance, such as the July 1973 show that became Live At The Old Quarter Houston, Texas, the double album on Tomato Records. As the Austin Chroniclewrites of the re-released CD, "Alone with a guitar, he hushes the crowd with his visionary tunes that are by turns haunting and eccentric, yet filled with beauty and dark shadows." Despite chronic battles with alcoholism and depression, his songwriting displayed a sense of humour and introspection, truth and beauty. Many artists cite Townes' influence on their music, with covers of his songs recorded by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Jeffrey Foucault, Cowboy Junkies, The Be Good Tanyasand others. His son John T.

Lover’s Lullaby Lyrics
Townes Van Zandt
By townes van zandt
Dreams that have flown down the hall
Tears that were sown on despair
Summers turned fall
It dont matter at all
When I wake and find you lying there
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair
Blues gonna dance through the sky
Times gonna roll soft as rain
Sigh after sigh is gonna pass by and by
Ah loves gonna fly on the wind
When I gaze into your brown eyes again
All the things Ive seen
And the places that Ive been
Dont mean a thing since I found you
All that matters now
Since Ive won your love somehow
Are these plans I keep makin
Not to lose you
So sleep till the moon slips away
Im hopin all youre dreamin comes true
When you rise with the day
I might not have too much to say
But you know that doesnt mean
That I dont love you
Ah you know that doesnt mean
That I dont love you
All the things Ive seen
And the places that Ive been
Dont mean a thing since I found you
All that matters now
Since Ive won your love somehow
Are these plans I keep makin
Not to lose you
Dreams that have flown down the hall
Tears that were sown on despair
Summers turned fall
It dont matter at all
When I wake and find you lying there
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair
Sweet silence and soft auburn hair
