Song fic: If I Needed You by Emmylou Harris & Don Williams

If I Needed You, If You Needed Me

Buck had gotten off from his call from Eddie who was at his parents’ home in El Paso. Eddie had had a heartfelt conversation with Ramon and covered a lot of his past. And had needed to talk about it.

Buck set up his recording system in his empty corner Taylor couldn’t figure out what he used it for. It had been such a long time since he had posted anything meaningful to his channel, but this would be a good time for it.

Setting up his guitar and mics, his cameras ready and in place, he started his recording:

If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain

This started with him playing in his corner, but he cut in scenes from their rescues together.

Well the night’s forlorn and the morning’s born
And the morning’s born with the lights of love
And you’ll miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would break my heart in two

Shots taken from others’ viewpoint of the comradery of the group and of them specifically. At work and off.

If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain

Their highs shown.
And their lows.
A fuzzed out shot of their son sleeping.

Baby’s with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Who could ill agree she’s a sight to see
A treasure for the poor to find

Winding back to his playing the guitar, quietly.
In his corner.

If I needed you, would you come to me?
Would you come to me for to ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain

Closing out with names blanked out on plane tickets to El Paso for an adult and a child and a car rental pick up ticket for the airport rental agency.

If you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the sea for to ease your pain
