American singer-songwriterDar Williams lives at the intersection of popand folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her most recent studio album, "My Better Self," finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.

If I Wrote You Lyrics
Dar Williams
Words and music by dar williams
I never thought you were the letter writing type
So now I see the words you chose the way you write
So I started to write back about the trees in the snow
And I saw a bird, couldnt see what it was but I thought youd know
You always surprised me
Chorus:
And if I wrote you
If I wrote you
You wouldknow me
And you would not write me again
Verse:
And when the spring came and flooded all the streams
Its like how you got the night you told me all you dreams
And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout
Its like how you got when you knew the truth was the only way out
But not the only way
Chorus:
And if I wrote you
If I wrote you
You wouldknow me
And you would not write me again
Verse:
We drew our arms around the bastard sons
We never would drink to the chosen ones
Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned
But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand
So Im steady now
Chorus:
And Im so happy
I had to tell you
And I love you
And you will not write me again
You will not write me again
You will not write me again
