The Waterboys
Where Are You Now When I Need You?
Hey Johnny, where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
Just one word come straight from your heart
Makes me feel so glad!
Death and disease walz together like starlets in this place
I sure would like to see your honest face
Hey Eddie, where are you now when I miss you?
Now when I miss you like hell?
If you were here I know you'd make me
Believe again in myself!
You don't owe me nothing
I'm not calling you away
So please don't feel accused when I say
Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
My heads almost exploding
And the tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe I need you?
But I do!
Hey you, where are you now when I dream about you
In nightmares every night?
You were on a big wheel high above me
Almost out of my sight
And just as I wake you shout down something that sounds like
"Why are you not free?"
But by the time I'm dressed
You're just a memory
