The song of the necessary man Lyrics

I've been waiting for years
Since the ceiling of like fell down on to my head
Oh, to hold you
And to whisper the words you've been longing to hear
One more night is this lonely old world
Where the lights through this storm seem to flicker and swirl
One more night in this lonely old world
Will damage me surely

So sing me the song and I'll set you to sail
With the light in your hair and the rain and the wind
Sing me the song and I'll set you free
In the morning I'll follow
And then you will see me no more

I've been watching the change in my face
As each day passes by
And my hair grows longer now
My eyes they grow dark with the passage of time
Much older now than the person you knew
Much colder now than the winds that once blew
Much bolder but these moments are few

So sing me the song and I'll set you to sail
With the light in your hair and the rain and the wind
Sing me the song and I'll set you free
In the morning I'll follow
And then you will see me no more
