I Need You
Cynthia Delaney


The night
Feels heavy I wanna stop
Every second lingers
Like a broken clock
Your voice still echoes
In my aching chest
I need you now
To put my mind to rest
I need you
Like the sun needs the sky
Like the moon
Can't glow
Without the tide
Every heartbeat's
Calling out your name
I need you here
To light my flame

The stars
Are shining but they don't compare
To the way
I feel
When you're there
My shadow's
Lonely in the empty glow
I need you now
More than
You'll ever know
I need you
Like the rain
Needs the ground
Like a melody
Waiting to be found
Every breath is
A plea in disguise
I need you here
To dry my eyes
No map can guide me
To where you are
But my heart's compass
Points to your star
I'll cross the oceans and
The endless blue
'Cause every road
Leads me back to you
I need you
Like the sun
Needs the sky
Like the moon
Can't glow
Without the tide
Every heartbeat's
Calling out your name
I need you
Here to light
My flame
