I Need You

by: Woman's Hour

Holding on, run and howl
I need you now, don't want to walk
Want to lay by your side
Want to touch the memories you miss so much
Want to try
Carry on and not forget remembering
Breathing out and breathing in lullabies
After the war we fall, fall
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Hardly here and hardly there
Never really anywhere
I stay myself from home to home
Carry on alone but now you're here with me
I want to play, never too late to start again
To make anew, to swim against
Tidal waves come and go
I'm high, then low, up then down
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
