We had our day but now it's over
We had our song but now it's sung
We had our stroll through summers clover
But summer's gone now, our walkin's done
So tell me gently who be your lover
Who be your lover after I'm gone
Will it be the moon that hears your sighin'
Will it be the willow that hears your lonesome song
Will it be the rain that clings to your bosom
Will it be the sunshine that dries your golden hair
Will it be the wind that warns of my returning
Will a rose be in your arms when I find you waitin' there
None but the rain should cling to my bosom
None but the moon should hear my lonesome sigh
None but the wind should warn of your returning
Fare thee well, my love, good-bye

Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997) è stato un cantautore statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti cantautori della storia del folk americano. Nato a Fort Worth, in Texas, Van Zandt ha sviluppato un stile musicale caratterizzato da melodie malinconiche e testi poetici che esploravano temi come l'amore perduto, la solitudine e la ricerca di spiritualità. La sua musica, spesso definita "cosmic country", mescolava elementi di folk, blues e country tradizionale, influenzando generazioni di artisti successivi. Nonostante non abbia raggiunto un successo commerciale mainstream, Van Zandt è diventato una figura leggendaria nel mondo della musica americana, apprezzato per la sua autenticità, la profondità dei suoi testi e la potenza delle sue performance.
