(Lyrics)
Your coat still hangs by the door
Your cup’s still marked on the floor
I pass your side of the bed
And hear the words you never said
The lamp burns low all night
I keep it on just right
Like you might walk back in
And make this room feel good again
I’m counting every minute
Till the dark starts slipping
Your name stays on my tongue
Like a prayer half-sung
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
My hands keep reaching
For where you used to lie
I’m longing, I’m missing
My beloved, my beloved
I need you tonight
The rain taps on the glass
Like footsteps that won’t last
I wear your old blue shirt
Just to feel your shape and hurt
I laugh, then lose the sound
The house keeps moving round
But I stay in the same place
Kissing air where you should stay
|
I’m counting every minute
Till the dark starts slipping
Your name stays on my tongue
Like a prayer half-sung
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
My hands keep reaching
For where you used to lie
I’m longing, I’m missing
My beloved, my beloved
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
If love can hear this room
Come back through the gloom
Bring your heartbeat back to mine
And I’ll be fine this time
I’m still here, still waiting
Still hoping, still aching
Take this empty pillow
And make it yours again
I need you tonight
I need you tonight
My hands keep reaching
For where you used to lie
I’m longing, I’m missing
My beloved, my beloved
I need you tonight
