From the recording Wide World
Lyrics
What I really want from you is nothing I can give myself
What I really want to do is nothing I can do without your help
Won't you come with me? Won't you come with me?
I am lonely, and it ain't nothing to be ashamed of
I am only trying to make you see
I'm no good here on my own. Aren't you tired of being alone?
I thought I was all right walking alone at night
Yeah, I thought I was on fire enough with my own dreams
But it's cold in the dark. I don't make much of a spark
Yeah, I think I missed the mark here with my own dreams
What I want from you is nothing I can give myself
What I want from you is you
And what I want to do is everything we can do
Everything we can do is better
Than walking alone at night, trying to be all right
Yeah, I got my dreams but I ain't dreaming
And I want to take the cold, make it warm till we're old
We've got fires to keep, babe, we've got love to hold
And I've got stars in the sky, I will reach them by and by
It's with you by my side where I can feel them
It ain't good to be alone, alone ain't no one's home
Aren't you tired of skipping stones across no water?
There are fish in the sea. One is you and one is me
I found you and you found me, let's swim forever
What I really want from you is nothing I can give myself
What I really want to do is have you and no one else
