I need you like morning Like dimes in my pocket I'll take you with you sunrise I'll take you any old time I need you like evening Like the bill I owed last week Like the sound of the city Like sleep like time There's no use for me now I've figured it out I'm a sailor ashore with no boat to sail out Onto the world to see all the pearls and planets and things The ocean doesn't sing without you But oh how it does how it does With you the edge of a mountain That free falling feelin' That hurt with the healin' The way my name sounds coming from Your lips is the best thing I ever been called I'm quietly enthralled the way you Move me it's paralyzingly There's no use for me now I've figured it out I'm a sailor ashore with no boat to sail out Onto the world to see all the pearls and planets and things
What does anything mean without you But oh what it does what it does And then somebody knows Somebody holds Somebody wraps me up and folds me out You try out all these things Out from the deep I've never seen Not sure of anything other then the way You break me build me pour me out and fill me up Because without you without you I'll slide and I'll tune There's too much space in every room Without you no reason to dine when it's just plastic wine Without you now I've been to the tale of time Words hardly have use But oh how they do how they do There's no use for me now I've figured it out I'm a sailor ashore with no boat to sail out Onto the world to see all the pearls and planets and things What does anything mean without you But oh what it does what it does With you
