If I Could Give All My Love (richard Manuel Is Dead) Lyrics - Counting Crows

Got a message in my head 

That the papers had all come 

Richard Manuel is dead 

And the daylight's coming on 

I've been wandering through the dark 

Now I'm standing on the lawn 

If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself 

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain 

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line 

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you 

Well, it was cold when I awoke 

And the day was halfway done 

Nearly spring in San Francisco 

And I cannot feel the sun 

You were sleeping next to me 

But I knew that you'd be gone 

If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself 

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain 

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line 

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you 

Take some time before you go 

To think of Mondays coming down 

And the people that you knew 

And the ones that aren't around 

You've been fading day to day 

I've been moving town to town 

If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself 

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain 

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line 

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you 

If I could give all my love to you, I could justify myself 

But I'm just not coming through, you're a pill to ease the pain 

Of all the stupid things I do, I'm an anchor on the line 

Of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you
