Song: You Need A New Lover Now
Artist: Murray McLauchlan
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:
