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 is lit 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 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 awkward breakfasts, 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
