I first heard this song in the mid '70's and have been playing it ever

since. I believe it's from the album "Day to Day Dust". I learned it by

ear and haven't actually heard a recording for 20 odd years so some of the

words might be wrong, but this is how I remember and play it. Any

corrections are welcomed.

There's nothing much to say It's windy today

You sit looking out through the panes

You're thinking about him How you lost at love again

Singing little girl's blues While it's starting to rain

:Chorus:

You need a new lover now

You need a lover, and how

Someone to hold you

Swallow your pride

You need a new________ lover now

Lovers come in two's and this time you lose

Well everybody must sometimes get lonely

Life goes by in years Far too many tears

Can be cried by you just for you only, don't waste your time

:chorus:

Well maybe he couldn't find you or you couldn't see him

Do you have to go out and live like a nun?

I've got no real right to give you this advice

'Cause you'll go out and do exactly what it is you want

:chorus:
