The late great Townes Van Zandt. Couldn't find much of Townes' stuff on Youtube and felt it was a shame. Sure as heck has a right to be.

lyrics:

Snow don't fall on summers time

Wind don't blow below the sea

My love lies 'neath frozen skies

And waits in sweet repose for me

Her eyes did laugh, her lips did sing

Her legs did roll, my soul to bring

Her hair did curl and her thoughts unfurled

Like birds upon the wings of spring

My love, I need not see

To know she cast her glance at me

Snow don't fall on summers time

Wind don't blow below the sea

My love lies 'neath frozen skies

And waits in sweet repose for me

She was hitchhiking from the studio to retrieve something for Townes, and was stabbed to death by the man who picked her up.

This is a great version...Different from the version I'm familiar with from 'the late great Townes Van Zandt' that has a piano and drums arrangement...I wonder where this version is from

Neige ne tombe pasSur étés tempsVent ne souffle pasEn dessous de la merMes amours mensonges«ciel congelés NeathEt attend en douceRepose pour moiSes yeux ne rientSes lèvres ne chanterSes jambes ont rouleauMon âme à apporterSes cheveux fait boucleEt ses pensées déployéComme des oiseaux surLes ailes du printempsMon amour je dois pas voirPour en savoir, elle jeta son regard sur moiNeige ne tombe pasSur étés tempsVent ne souffle pasEn dessous de la merMes amours mensonges«ciel congelés NeathEt attend en douceRepose pour moi

8/6/71 Albuq.Tribune A week ago 18 year old Leslie Jo Richards called her mother in Houston to say she would be home Aug. 10 and would stay with her parents for her birthday a week later. but Tuesday night, just before midnight, she stumbled from a car to a stranger's front Porch in Leucadia, California, where she knocked on the door and died of multiple stab wounds. The police report said witnesses saw her struggling with a man who was described as heavy. It was his car she staggered from.

Caught in a crossfire? Where did this all go down? What region of the country?

How was she killed? When did he pass away? How old was he? His lyrics are indescribable. Only just learned that he composed "Tecumseh Valley". I have a performance on here. I'm "Scott Norman Rosenthal". The old guy Scott Norman.

this song, TVZ wrote for Leslie Jo, his girlfriend, who was killed while she was hitchhiking home to bring Townes some stuff to the studio that he needed. He asked her for that favour. as written in A Deeper Blue, the biography by R.E. Hardy.

Every once in a while, someone says what they mean. The last word in drop-dead gorgeousness can't be that easy to do. I think I love Townes more that Dylan.
