DEL AMITRI - When I Want You lyrics

rate me

You sent greetings from Liverpool

and I took the next train

Passed by people putting flowers on graves and

We got delayed

When I arrived you had vanished like steam

and left me in a diesel day

So I walked around and spent ten pounds

in amusement arcades

Felt like I was in a field

looking for a pin

It's a kind of loneliness

It's a kind of emptiness

But I'm not trying I'm just rehearsing

For the perfect day

When I want you, I'll come looking for you

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.

I took a spoon to the swimming pool

to drain your trace away

And I changed my name so only my looks remain

And if looks could kill I'd need a license for my face

'Cos where his fists put bruises

A scheming smile now takes their place

Felt like I was in a field

looking for a pin

It's a kind of loneliness

It's a kind of emptiness

But I'm not trying I'm just rehearsing

For the perfect day

When I want you, I'll come looking for you

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.
