I Want You Now

When the sun goes down I open up my window for hours and I watch Every passing stranger Every early shadow, I wonder if it's you Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming How to get you back in my life I want you now And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how I won't take no for an answer Every empty evening The sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fight Shout and raucous laughter Sounds of breaking glass shatter through the night The men from the circus are juggling with knives The acrobats fall just like you I want you now And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how I won't take no for an answer I won't take no for an answer Now you're miles away 'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheard I've cried to you for help But the wind blows away all my words You sat there once beside me Where the actors play, you kissed me every night When you left you promised You'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered Got to get you back in my life I want you now (I want you now) And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how (I've told you how) I won't take no for an answer I want you now (I want you now) And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how (I've told you how) I won't take no for an answer
