The Waterboys - Where Are You Now When I Need You? lyrics

Hey Johnny, where are you now when I need you? Now when I need you so bad? Just one word come straight from your heart Makes me feel so glad! d**h and disease walz together like starlets in this place I sure would like to see your honest face Hey Eddie, where are you now when I miss you? Now when I miss you like hell? If you were here I know you'd make me Believe again in myself! You don't owe me nothing I'm not calling you away So please don't feel accused when I say Where are you now when I need you? Now when I need you so bad? My heads almost exploding And the tension drives me mad And maybe you wonder Do I really believe I need you? But I do! Hey you, where are you now when I dream about you In nightmares every night? You were on a big wheel high above me Almost out of my sight And just as I wake you shout down something that sounds like "Why are you not free?" But by the time I'm dressed You're just a memory Where are you now when I need you? Now when I need you so bad? When my heads almost exploding And this tension drives me mad And maybe you wonder Do I really believe I need you? But I do! Hey mama, where are you now I hurt for you? I hurt for you so hard? If you heard this song, I know you you'd come straight for me You'd come somehow, no matter how far There's a hundred things that I want to say to you And they come rushing through my head But when we meet like we always do, we leave the best things unsaid And my god! Isn't that lonely? That's lonely as hell To know the truth always but to be too scared to tell Where are you now when I need you? Now when I need you so bad? When my hearts almost exploding And this tension drives me mad And maybe you wonder Do I really believe I need you? But I do! But I do!
