Erasure - When I Needed You


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 almost 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 almost 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?
