When the rain falls down and pounds on the ground

And you're long lost on your stair

Turn your head till it's hung, and you've torn your tongue

And still nobody cares

When the lonely sea and the lonely breeze

Sing their lonely song

Oh why am I never there when somebody needs someone

When the restless hurting starts casting and turning

And cursing upon the waves

When the lonesome longing and loathesome wronging

Digs pathways to your grave

When your bell starts ringing again and your sense of hope is gone

Oh why am I never there when somebody needs someone

[Instrumental Break]

Pushed off of the edge, kicked under the bed

Collecting dust in your daze

You're freeing in fear and hiding the tears

That drain you in your place

You're shrouded and crowded and clouded in fog, unable to see the sun

And still I'm never there when somebody needs someone

When it blankets you in solitude, in anguish distress and despair

When you've lost your game of tranquility and your sensory for care

When blue is your color and one is your number and you've got no willing to go on

Oh why am I never there when somebody needs someone

Yea I'm never there when somebody needs someone
