Someone You Need
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.
The streets here are empty
All the people went home
Well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately?
I hear you're a little down
And do you think maybe I could come around?
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
We had coffee on 3rd street
And talked for a time
I still have your letter I know every line
I hope this ain't coming from way out of the blue
Cause I got to thinking and I thought of you
I could be someone you need
Keep you from burning in hot summer Sun
Roll you in clover a coat for your shoulder
I could be someone you need
You need someone there
When the world isn't fair
Or its all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you
Issue a dare to you
When the moment comes you need to fly, fly
I could be someone you need
Wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
Be your best confidante
Pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
