Believing in You
I am so alone with my love.
Isn’t anyone out there?
I have looked just about everywhere,
but I can’t seem to find a person
who will ever care.
If I had you by my side,
I would make sure things were good and all right.
And if you ever want to know why,
just remember all the times you have cried.
I am looking across the sky
for the people who have never lived,
for the people who had to die.
I have got myself really strung out,
and I am starting to look in the strangest places.
Girl, if you need me,
I will go to you in your dreams,
take you out and show you a world
that is not what it seems.
I will hold you, but never change you,
mould you into something with much more confidence,
because when you look around,
that is what really makes sense.
That is all we have to know.
Loving you,
it is the strangest thing I will ever have to do.
I am only ever going to set you free,
because I believe in you.
James Garratt – 1993/1994
