What would you say if I asked of you

- out of loneliness, out of loneliness

What would you say if I asked of you

- out of loneliness, out of loneliness

Could I be with you?

Can I be with you?



It's warm inside the night club

Your face lits up by a disco light

I don't want to go home alone, not tonight

I have a picture of a man who used to sit in that chair

I will go anywhere

Just as long as I'm with someone and

You will do, just take me home for tea



If I told you my stories and sang you my songs

Would you laugh at me?

Would you pity me?

What would you say if I asked of you

Not out of accident, out of loneliness

Would you shelter me?

Will you shelter me?



I will be gone when you wake up

No embarrasing breakfast, I swear

And don't you look for me, because I could be anywhere

In someone else's house

In someone else's arms

With someone else to warm the pain away



What can I ask of you?

What would you want from me?

What would you say if I just fell asleep?
