Please – Mary Gauthier

Four nights alone in Amsterdam and I missed you every one
I wish this trip was over and it’s only just begun
I don’t know when I’ll see you again, I can’t think of it, it’s more than I can bear
I know I only kissed you once but I hold on it my on my lips like a prayer
I see me in the window of old Café on the boulevard
Looking hunkered down and blown around, I’ve forgotten what I’m out here for
I stood alone last night by the streetlight, aching for you
I watched the snow fall in Berlin from a hotel room on Karl Marx Avenue
Oh, please, I need your love
Oh, please, I need your love

I dreamed of you in Belfast and I woke up to the echo of your voice
Walked the streets of Dublin talking to myself ’bout love and choice
I forgot the dream in Aberdeen and panicked ’cause it felt like you were gone
I called your number in despair and you laughed at me, thank God I was wrong
Oh, please, I need your love
Oh, please, I need your love

Well, I kissed you once and then I left, and I was hoping that you’d remember me
Oh, I didn’t even try to stay, I was teasing you with the possibility
Yes, I set a trap but I fell in and I don’t think I’m finished falling yet
What I tried to do to you, I did to me, I guess I’m working off the debt

Going crazy here without you and it makes no sense at all
On my knees with my arms out and my back against the wall
I miss you everywhere I go with an ache that just grows stronger town to town
And If you don’t want me baby, I hope I’m strong enough to just keep on moving round
Oh, please, I need your love
Oh, please, I need your love
