ONCE IN A WHILE, I FEEL A LITTLE BIT LOW.
THERE’S A LACK OF HOPE THAT BRINGS ME DOWN
SO I WALK AROUND.
I TAKE MY BODY FROM SPOT TO SPOT.
I WAVE HELLO TO FACES I USED TO KNOW.
THIS NIGHT I ENDED UP IN A PARTY
WHERE THE GIRLS WERE HIP AND THE BARMAID
NOT STINGY.
I KNEW SHE’S BEEN AROUND LOOKING FOR LOVE
THAT WHAT SHE GAVE TO YOU
COULD BE GIVEN TO ALL BY NIGHT
BUT WHEN SHE CARRIED ME HOME
WHEN SHE CARRIED ME HOME
FOR THE FIRST TIME
I HAD THIS BEAT INSIDE
WHEN SHE MURMURED I NEED YOU
I KNOW EVERYTHING STARTED WRONG
WHILE I WAS JABBERING WITH MY BROKEN TONGUE
WITHOUT SOLID GROUNDS.
OH MY GOD SHE WAS GENEROUS
MOST OF US WOULD HAVE LEFT ME ALL ALONE.
SHE LISTENED TO ME PATIENTLY
GAVE ME DRINKS CONTINUOUSLY
WITH A GENTLE SMILE
SHE WAS PROBABLY USED TO IT
A NIGHT NURSE FOR AN UNFIT BODY
LIKE ME
BUT WHEN SHE CARRIED ME HOME
WHEN SHE CARRIED ME HOME
FOR THE FIRST TIME
I HAD THIS BEAT INSIDE
WHEN SHE MURMURED “I NEED YOU”
“I NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER”…
