I just saw the sun go down
Behind a purple sky
Watched the daylight
Slowly fade and die
Saw two lovers close their door
And turn out their bedroom light
Wishing you were here with me tonight
Picked up a book
And tried my best to read it
But love
Doesn't always come
On the nights
You need it
Lying here I feel so lost
In this big king-size bed
Reached down and ran my fingers
Cross the satin spread
Thought of how it felt to lay
My head upon your chest
Lord, I've never felt such loneliness
Nights like this
I feel I'm being cheated
But love
Doesn't always come
On the nights
You need it
On the nights
I need you so
What do I do?
Where do I go?
I need you
To make me feel
Completed
But love
Doesn't always come
On the nights
You need it
No, love
Doesn't always come
On the nights
You need it
