When I Want You - Del Amitri

You sent greetings from Liverpool

And I took the next train

Passed by people putting flowers on graves and

We got delayed

When I arrived you had vanished like steam

And left me in a diesel day

So I walked around and spent ten pounds

In amusement arcades

Felt like I was in a field

Looking for a pin

It’s a kind of loneliness

It’s a kind of emptiness

But I’m not trying I’m just rehearsing

For the perfect day

When I want you, I’ll come looking for you

When I want you, I’ll come looking for you

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will

Yes I will, yes I will

I took a spoon to the swimming pool

To drain your trace away

And I changed my name so only my looks remain

And if looks could kill I’d need a license for my face

'Cos where his fists put bruises

A scheming smile now takes their place

Felt like I was in a field

Looking for a pin

It’s a kind of loneliness

It’s a kind of emptiness

But I’m not trying I’m just rehearsing

For the perfect day

When I want you, I’ll come looking for you

When I want you, I’ll come looking for you

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will

Yes I will, yes I will

Yes I will

When I want you, I’ll come looking for you

When I want you, I’ll come looking

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will

Yes I will
