The Waterboys Follow

Hey Johnny, where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
Just one word come straight from your heart
Makes me feel so glad

Death and disease waltz together
Like starlets in this place
I sure would like to see
Your honest face

Hey Eddie, where are you now when I miss you?
Now when I miss you like hell?
If you were here I know you'd make me
Believe again in myself

You don't owe me nothing
Im not calling you away
So please don't feel accused
When I say

Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
My heads almost exploding
And the tension drives me mad

And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe
I need you?
But I do

Hey you, where are you now when I dream about you
In nightmares every night?
You were on a big wheel high above me
Almost out of my sight

And just as I wake you shout down something
That sounds like, 'Why are you not free?'
But by the time I'm dressed
You're just a memory

Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
When my heads almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad

And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe
I need you?
But I do

Hey mama, where are you now I hurt for you?
I hurt for you so hard?
If you heard this song, I know you you'd come straight for me
You'd come somehow, no matter how far

There's a hundred things that I want to say to you
And they come rushing through my head
But when we meet like we always do
We leave the best things unsaid

And my God, isn't that lonely?
That's lonely as hell
To know the truth always
But to be too scared to tell

Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
When my hearts almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad

And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe I need you?
But I do
But I do
