What I want to say - but my words just fail Is that I need you so I can't help myself Like a hungry child - I just help myself And when I'm all full up - I got out to play Aw! Huh! Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning Quiet as the sea on a good calm night In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow I hear your distant shoe clicks To the midnight beat - I feel trapped in sorrow In this imagery But that's how I am and why I need you so Aw! Huh! F#7aug But I don't mean to bleed you dry / Or take you over for the rest of your life It's just that I need something solid in mine Believe me baby! You precious love - it means so much Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch? What I want to say but my words just fail I hear your distant shoe clicks To the midnight beat I'm feeling trapped in sorrow In this imagery But that's how I am And why I need you so Aw! Huh! (instrumental) If the sky fell from above I said who's your precious love? If the sky fell from above I said who's your precious love? If the sky fell from above Buddy, who's your precious love? Huh!
