If I Needed You

(album: Photograph - 1976)

I've gotten rid of my guilt and my lily white
And I've gotten used to an empty bed sometimes
We used to be glowing
But I wouldn't be going now
If I needed you
If I needed you

Oh love, you know I could hold you long
But the holding has turned to lean upon
And I may be blowing it
But I wouldn't be growing now
If I needed you

I'll take this space in time
For what I need to say
Some race within the limit
Winning 'cause their needs are in it
Mine have always got in my way

But, I'll sing along to the life and times
Just go wandering alone and learn that I'm the guide
At least it keeps me believing
But I wouldn't be needing now
If I needed you

I wouldn't be bleeding now
I may be blowing it
But I wouldn't be growing now
I would be lying
But I wouldn't be crying now
This might be living
But I wouldn't be dying now
I may be blowing it
But I wouldn't be growing now
I would be lying
But I wouldn't be crying now
If I needed you
