If Not for You
New Morning
1970
Columbia
Paroles
If not for you,
Babe, I couldn't find the door,
Couldn't even see the floor,
I'd be sad and blue,
If not for you.
If not for you,
Babe, I'd lay awake all night,
Wait for the mornin' light
To shine in through,
But it would not be new,
If not for you.
If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
I'd be lost if not for you,
And you know it's true.
If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
Oh! What would I do
If not for you.
If not for you,
Winter would have no spring,
Couldn't hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue,
Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
If not for you.
Interprétation
Chanson d'amour limpide, offerte à George Harrison, qui l'enregistra aussi pour All Things Must Pass. Dylan y chante ce que serait sa vie « sans toi » — un désert sans étoile, un hiver sans printemps.
La chanson, d'une simplicité volontaire, marque le retour de Dylan à une écriture claire après les brouillages de Self Portrait. Elle incarne l'apaisement de New Morning, où l'amour domestique remplace les oracles.
