Bobb Trimble - “If Words Were All I Had“ - Harvest Of Dreams (1982)

Transferred from the original 1982 private press LP, which is perhaps the very last album to be released from the first psychedelic era. Containing elements of folk, psych, and precursors to the lo-fi and indie rock movements, Bobb Trimble’s two albums are heralded as undisputed classics by record collectors today. LYRICS: If words were all I had, I’d write them all for you And if my heart could read you these words They’d pour the morning through The the angels would sing you to sleep As the stars come to view But, you’re so far away, a million light years away So far away, in another day You are so far away, more and more everyday Oh, so far away to the gods I’d pray To bring you home If your love was all I had, I’d leave the world behind And if your love would stay in my heart What better world could I find? Your world holds the beautiful and warm Mine holds the cold and unkind Oh, you’re so beautiful, warm and true and blue So beautiful, don’t know what to do You are so beautiful, I just can’t get through You’re so beautiful, I’m in love with you When are you comin’ home Time touches with a smile To lighten the scars of anger you try to hide Releasing those chains that bind To strengthen the crush on dreams that you hold inside Then running free for a moments time To catch the dreams that slipped away in some endless rhyme As you now realize what you’ve lost to time But, if your memory was all I had Then to hell with it all
