Here Am I

(album: Blind Dog At St. Dunstans - 1976)

When doing it all late at night
I feel a thousand faces
All looking at me pale and white
From most peculiar places

They keep telling me that my life
Tell me that my life could be better
If all I want is love

My hands are holding traffic jams
That's full of crazy ladies
All trying to get home at the same time
To feed full fats of babies

And all they want is life
All they want is life to get better
Cause they like them going for love
Yes, I'm going for love – I'm taking arms

Stand, know what you can do
With all the running times you've given me
I don't wanna stay, going where I'm feeling even sure it's taking me
Why, you can see there's been a definite change in my eyes
Love, where are you, I'm needing you to keep me satisfied

So here am I, here am I

I never did ask what I might have been
When I could see their faces
I could have stayed home and got stuck right in
Or gone a million places

But then I wanted life
All I wanted was life to get better
So I could feel your love

So I could say to you
Know what you can do with everything
Loving all the same, be a pain
And still be what you need if you wanted to
Life it's through our love it's making all the change in my eyes
Love need no shove to keep the life I lead so satisfying

So here am I, here am I...
