someone to lay down beside me

there's somebody waiting alone in the street

for someone to walk up and greet

here you are all alone in the city

where's the one that you took to your side

lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night

and they'll say

woman

sweet woman

please come home with me

you're shining and willing and free

but your love

it's a common occurrence

not like love that i feel in my heart

still

you know that may be what i need

is someone to lay down beside me

and even though it's not real

just someone to lay down beside me

you're the story of my life

just someone to lay down beside me

and even though it's not real

just someone to lay down beside me

you're the story of my life

well morning is breaking

the street lights are off

the sun will soon share all the cost

of a world that can be sort of heartless

not like love that you feel in your heart

still

you know that may be all you get

is someone to lay down beside you

and even though it's not real

just someone to lay down beside you

you just can't ask for more
