Lyrics

I think you had somebody waiting outside in the rain to take you away
You got places to go, you got people to see, still I'm gonna miss you
But anyway
I wish you good spaces in the far away places you go
If it rains or it snows may you be safe and warm and never grow old
And if you need somebody sometimes
You know I will always be there
I'll do it although I'm not supposed to care
I'll give you the keys to my flying machine if you'd like
I will show you the light and when you call
I'm gonna come to you
And when you find someone who loves you
I'll know you would treat me the same
Just lie there 'cause you're not supposed to care
It is some kind of a game that I'm glad it came down to the final round
But anyway
If you think you need someone who needs you
You know I will always be there
I'll do it although I'm not supposed to care
I'll do it although I'm not supposed to care
