I Need You
January’s very warm this year
You are the april that seems so near
All the right words were always backwards
Now the cats are carried off by blackbirds
I need you
Am I too near sighted to see what’s going on
or scared to admit this time nothing’s wrong
Your love always rains like the sun
Separate but connected to everyone -
That needs you
It’s always so very hard to find - walking around so blind
Velvet and ashes, old worn wood, and a rose with thorns
Hear those bells from far away
They’re ringing something clear and true today
The world is singing so sweetly now -
everything’s a melody of you somehow
I need you
