Howard Jones - Someone You Need Lyrics

(Duet With Duncan Sheik)

The streets here are empty
all the people went home
well, I was just wondering if you're alone
So how you've been lately?
I hear you're a little down
and do you think maybe I could come around?

I could be someone you need
wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
be your best confidante
pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need

We had coffee on 3rd street
and talked for a time
I still have your letter I know every line
I hope this ain't coming from way out of the blue
cause I got to thinking and I thought of you

I could be someone you need
keep you from burning in hot summer sun
roll you in clover a coat for your shoulder
I could be someone you need

You need someone there
when the world isn't fair
or its all just too good to be true
Someone to care for you
issue a dare to you
when the moment comes you need to fly, fly.

I could be someone you need
wrap you in blankets on dark winter nights
be your best confidante
pay the right compliment
I could be someone you need
