When I Want You
-
Del Amitri
-
You sent greetings from liverpool
And I took the next train
Passed by people putting flowers on graves and
We got delayed
When I arrived you had vanished like steam
And left me in a diesel day
So I walked around and spent ten pounds
In amusement arcades
Felt like I was in a field
Looking for a pin
Its a kind of loneliness
Its a kind of emptiness
But Im not trying Im just rehearsing
For the perfect day
When I want you, Ill come looking for you
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.
I took a spoon to the swimming pool
To drain your trace away
And I changed my name so only my looks remain
And if looks could kill Id need a license for my face
cos where his fists put bruises
A scheming smile now takes their place
Felt like I was in a field
Looking for a pin
Its a kind of loneliness
Its a kind of emptiness
But Im not trying Im just rehearsing
For the perfect day
When I want you, Ill come looking for you
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.
