Growing up With Shiva
She stood on the steps behind a man
He lit a cigarette and leaned on the rail
The smell of burning made her head clear
Thinking all the thoughts she hadn't thought for years
Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire
Tomorrow no plan will carry her away
This evening the man well he wonders what to say
The sparks are lighting up the night sky
Possessions, letters now just fuel for history
And from the bridge she's seen
Wa
When You Need Somebody
There's cloud hanging over me
But I'm not gonna let it bring me down
To be true, true to you, I've had better days
But I'll hold my head up high anyway
Whenever times are hard you're there for me
And I've been there too many times
If there's someone I can count on, yeah
That someone is you
When you need somebody to hold you
When you need somebody to care
I'm the one, I'll always be
By your side eternally
When the world is folding around you
When you feel like no-one is there
Love is never wrong, forever on and on
And carries us along
When you need someone
Every second, every day gone by
If you feel you're losing time
Take a listen to your heart now, please don't fall apart
Cause you're never alone
Whenever times are hard you're there for me
And I've been there too many times
If there's someone I can count on, yeah
That someone is you
Chorus
When you need, need somebody
Need a hand, a hand to guide you
I'll be there waiting for you
( I'll be waiting for you )
When the world folds around you
Turn around I'm right behind you
And together we'll get by
Chorus Out
