"Someone To Lay Down Beside Me" lyrics

Someone To Lay Down Beside Me

There's somebody waiting
Alone in the street
For someone to walk up and greet
Here you are
All alone in the city
Where's the love
That you took to your side?
Lonely faces
Will stare through your eyes
In the night

And they'll say
"Woman sweet woman
Please come home with me
You're shining and willing and free
But your love
Is a common occurrence
Not like love
That I feel in my heart
Still you know
That may be what I need"

Is someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life

Someone to lay down beside me
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside me
You're the story of my life

The morning is breaking
The street lights are off
The sun will soon share
All the cost
Of a world
That can be sort of heartless
Not like love
That I feel in my heart
Still you know
That may be all you'll get

Is someone to lay down beside you
And even though it's not real
Just someone to lay down beside you
You just can't ask for more
