Erasure - When I Needed You Lyrics

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

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

Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (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)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (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)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where (Where)
Where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
