==========



I want to come home now

I've been away too long

I want to come back

I'm too sick at heart and scared to go

I can't pretend any more

To you I can't pretend

I need a friend

I can't be alone any more



I need you I need you now



Cut off, apart, isolated

In my pride, in my hatred

My face is sad and afraid

Black in the sun and white in the shade

The night reflects it

In every window I pass

In evrey pane of glass

I can't last, like this, I can't last



I need you I need you now



All those I pushed away

They walk with me, live in me now

And the silence of what I never said

Screams in my ears and pounds in my head

But when I look at you

I know I could never lie

You see all of me when I look into your eyes



I need you I need you now



I woke up dreaming that I was dead

Beside you on the bed

I smoothed my hand across your hip

And lingered with my fingertips

From beyond, from far away

Blessing where the shadows lay

I whispered what I could not say

How you took my breath away



There is no world and I am a shadow

You are no woman and I am noman

There are only eyes and arms and hands

The eyes that cut me out

The arms that hold me round

The hands that reach out to pick me up

And lift me from the ground

Go ahead, raise me from mud



Then in the light burn me down

And whether I live forever, heaven sent

Or am doomed to die, earth bound, it doesn't matter

You may let the years drip from my face

As the world turns round and round

But as long as I can breath

Can lift my voice and make a sound

In everything I am, in everything I do

I am your servant, I need you



I need you I need you now
