The Alan Parsons Project - You Won't Be There lyrics

(Lead vocal - Dave Townsend)

Show me a promised land and
I will go anywhere and if you ask me to take
My time I'll wait for years
I'll hold on though the whole
World tells me I'm wrong someday, someday
But it seems so long

Ask me to prove my love
And I will do anything
So if they turn off the light of
The sun why should I care
I'll hold on though the whole
World tells me I'm wrong
Then in the morning as you leave me
You touch my hand to show how much you care

But just when I need you you won't be there
Oh, I'll hold on but I need
A shoulder to lean on
Why if you love me must you leave me
Why are you going anywhere
Why must our love be something in the air
Cause just when I need you
You won't be there you won't be there
