When I need you

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

Oh, I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

One Man Band

well everybody knows down ladbrook grove
you have to leap across the street
you can lose your life under a taxi cab
you gotta have eyes in your feet

you find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
take up your guitar and play
but then the law man comes says move along
so you move along all day

well I'm a one man band
nobody knows nor understands
is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
with my one man band

for three days now I haven't eaten at all
my my you must be getting so thin
and soon my cap won't be large enough
to drop a half a crown in

so hey there mister don't you look so sad
don't look so ill at ease
well I can play you any song you like
to cheer up that life you lead

well I'm a one man band
nobody knows nor understands
is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
with my one man band

and oh oh oh look at the rain falling
oh oh oh look at it rain
oh look at it rain

well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
nobody sees him coming
nobody see him go
so hey there mister don't you look so sad
don't look so ill at ease
well I can play you any song you like
to cheer up that life you lead

well I'm a one man band
nobody knows nor understands
is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
with my one man band

well I'm a one man band
nobody knows nor understands
is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
with my one man band

oh I'm a one man band
just a one man band
oh I'm a one man band

More Than I Can Say
