I will soothe you with a song / And guide you as you travel on / Weary, weary man / Gonna sometimes need a helping hand / Much as I’d like to say / I could get along without you anyway / It ain’t my pride, only my defences / Got me trying so hard / To pound you out of my senses / But I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now / With your sweet hair blowing free / Silently you came to me / Saying ‘Someday we’re gon’ be free / All the burdens of this lifetime / Buried ‘neath the sea’ / But I don’t want to dream no more / Hold me like you’ve never done before / And I won’t need any explanation / Or time spent in contemplation / I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now / Do you know where our demons hide? / In a flow of swallows circling the sky / Like a shell beneath the sand / How they hunger for a wisp of land / And as I take you to my breast / In our bed we take our rest / The winds blow high / Blow my love to me now / And as I hold you close / Bring joy to me now / And I couldn’t do without you now / Couldn’t do without you now.
