I Need You Lyrics - Nomeansno

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 T 

he 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 

A am your servant, i need you 

I need you I need you now
