It's Still You I Need
Rita Collins


The night feels heavy
Like a
Broken sigh
Stars are hiding somewhere
In the sky
I thought I'd find peace
In moving on
But your shadow lingers
When I'm alone
I hear your laughter in the pouring rain
Echoes of you drive me insane
Every corner of this empty space
Holds the ghost of your embrace
It's still you I need in the quiet and the storm
Your love's the fire that kept me warm
I tried to run but I can't break free
No matter where I go it's still you I need
The morning whispers secrets in my ear
Your name's the only thing I hear
Every heartbeat spells out your name
Without your love
I'm not the same
I built a wall to keep you out
But it crumbled under all my doubt
Now I'm standing here with open hands
Hoping you'll come back again
It's still you I need in the quiet and the storm
Your love's the fire that kept me warm
I tried to run but I can't break free
No matter where I go it's still you I need
