Songtexte When I Needed You (2009 Digital Remaster) - Erasure

I'd like to be a child again
So many things to do
Playground noise and coloured toys
And everything brand new

I'd like to be a pirate ship
In search of hidden gold
On ocean waves I'd swim away
And sail around the world

Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?

I'd like to be a soldier
A general I would be
In battle and in glory
With ten thousand men to lead

I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me

Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?

Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?

I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me

Where, where

Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?

Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend?
