You came out of nowhere
Just appeared at the door
“I’m just passing through
Can I sleep on the floor?”
I know that I know you
You’re a friend of a friend
You’re welcome to stay here
But I’ve nothing to lend any more
Any more
In dead chill of midnight
It was easily done
Two bodies together
Are warmer than one
The light through the curtains
And a stranger in bed
What started as nothing
Turned to something that led on and on
Through the long days of summer
And the long nights of winter
As if seasons and years never changed
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s harder
As the time goes by
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s easy
And it’s easier
When you don’t try
Hide me away till the cares of the day
Disappear from my world without trace
Just carry on singing the same old song
Till the colour returns to my face
To my face
With no explanation
Coming home late at night
You’d gone without warning
Just as you’d arrived
The sun on your body
And the wind in your hair
Wherever you’re going
Well I long to be there
By your side
By your side
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s harder
As the time goes by
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s easy
And it’s easier
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s harder
As the time goes by
Wanting to be wanted
Needing to be needed
And it’s easy
And it’s easier
If I don’t try
If I don’t try
If I don’t try
If I don’t try
