Erasure - When I Needed You (melancholic Mix) 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

-Chorus:

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

Chorus

Chorus

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

Chorus to fade
