Time is slowly fadin'
Since you went away
The tears that I am crying
Confuse my world each day

We kissed, made love that morning
Oh, I still wonder why
You left without a warning
And didn't say goodbye

But sometimes being true is a much too heavy load
It's like a race for two on a long and winding road
Without a winner after all

Need some lovin', need some tenderness
Someone to relieve the pain
I am drowning here in loneliness
I'm just a drifter in the rain

Need some lovin', need some tenderness
Need some passion for tonight
I'm a fool who's missin' your caress
Need someone to hold me tight

Rain is slowly falling
While you play on my mind
Old memories are calling
Now I know that love is blind

But sometimes being true is a much too heavy load
(it's much too heavy)
It's like a race for two on a long and winding road
(it's like a bad race on the long)
Without a winner after all

Need some lovin', need some tenderness
Someone to relieve the pain
I am drowning here in loneliness
I'm just a drifter in the rain
Need some lovin', need some tenderness
Need some passion for tonight
I'm a fool who's missin' your caress
Need someone to hold me tight

Need some lovin', need some tenderness
Need some passion for tonight
I'm a fool who's missin' your caress
Need someone to hold me tight
