Call On Me

When everything you're after

Turns out a disaster

And you're feeling bad

When everything you're doing

Goes from red to blue

And you are growing mad

At the crossroads you are standing

Waiting for a hand to show you where to go

But as the rain is lashing

No-one else is passing by to let you know

CHORUS:

So call on me and I'll help you to cry

That's the least that I can do

For when I say goodbye to you

You'll wonder why

All I'm gonna do is help you cry

Now you've got your freedom

Your eyes begin to see some things they've never known

All the time has gone for giving

And soon you'll be living on your own

I'm not saying you won't make it

Or that you can't take it when I'm gone

You look at me with daring

But I'm not even caring if you get along

CHORUS

I'm not trying to fool you

Or even to be cruel

You know me far too well

But if you'd been yourself dear

I might have found a reason not to disappear

But it's far too late now

I'm getting on first rate

That it's passing by

And I could say I'm sorry

But I'm in no hurry

Besides, it'd be a lie
