Yes I Was

(album: People - 1988)

Was I there when you were lying staring cold against my face
Did I run to hear your crying hoping you would come again

Was I there when you were lonely
Was I there, or did I care?

Was I missing when you needed brothers arms
Or was I there?

Yes I was

And if night fall held your head
A tangled mess of shocking pain

Did I run there to your guidance
Hoping you would come again
You were thinking I could hear
Your heavy breathing had me scared

Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?

Yes I was

And if night fall takes your head
A tangled mess of shocking pain
Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?

You were thinking I could hear
Your heavy breathing had me scared
Did I run or did I think or did I know or was I there?

Yes I was
