If You Could Touch Her at All - Bill Callahan

Funny a woman can come on so wild and so free

Yet insist I don’t watch her undress or watch her watch me

And stand by my bed and shiver as if she were cold

Just to lay down beside me and touch me as if I were gold

Yeah, one night of lovin' don’t make up for six nights alone

But I’d rather have one than none Lord, 'cause I’m flesh and bone

And sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all

That she could be worth the world or if you could touch her at all

A right or wrong, a woman can own any man

She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hands

And leave him as weak and weary as a new born child

Struggling to catch his first breath and open his eyes

Yeah, one night of lovin' don’t make up for six nights alone

But I’d rather have one than none Lord, 'cause I’m flesh and bone

And sometimes it seems that she ain’t worth the trouble at all

That she could be worth the world or if you could touch her at all
