The Need Of You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Would I want, what I got, what I need (x2)
I got a canvas, paint and brushes too
What I need is the memory, to paint a picture of you
Love at a distance, my world's torn in two
And nothing, that I got, could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you
I know the journey, I know the distance and the time
But what I need is you beside me, to make my drive sublime
Love at a distance, my worlds torn in two
And nothing I got could ever compare, to the need of you
To the need of you
Would I want, ain't no little one time thing
What I got, is a bondafire love
What I need, is to have you closer to me
Cuz all this spare and time it don't ease my mind no
What I want, is for you to remember me
What I got, is the fear that you won't
What I need, is to bring our minds together
So we're synchronized when we fantasise oh, love at a distance
Oh baby, nothing that I got could ever compare to the need of you
