Everybody Needs Love

(album: The Adventures Of Ben Blank - 2023)

Sometimes it seems that it's all a dream
This life that calls to me
I left home when I was nineteen
Went to see what I could see
Saw many people they were thick as thieves
Some lonesome as a dove
Just one thought that occurred to me
Is that everybody needs some love

Then a brown eyed girl well she stopped the world
There was nothing I could do
Girl I swear I nearly broke my back
Just trying to keep up with you
And you fell for her like a wounded bird
And hoped that you could give enough
She said babe don't fret or did you forget
That everybody needs some love

And I believe in the things that you say to me
Like I believe in the moon and the stars above
I'm gonna fly with the wings that you gave to me
You know everybody needs some love
Oh everybody needs love

Then I kissed my two daughters
And you know I kissed my son
We're just dark drops of moon water
Babes we were born to run
When you're a small fish in the metropolis
And push comes to shove
Everybody needs a little open sky
And everybody needs some love

And I believe in the things that you say to me
Like I believe in the moon and the stars above
I'm gonna fly with the wings that you gave to me
You know everybody needs some love
Oh child everybody needs love

By and by when it's time to die
I know I won't regret a thing
Come on baby won't you dry your eyes
And girl don't forget to sing
I walked on the road that was paved for me
And I've been the lonesome dove
I thank you for the gift that you gave to me
Because everybody needs some love

And I believe in the things that you say to me
Like I believe in the moon and the stars above
I'm gonna fly with the wings that you gave to me
You know everybody needs some love

And I believe in the things that you say to me
Like I believe in the moon and the stars above
I'm gonna fly with the wings that you gave to me
You know everybody needs some love
