[English]

Send someone to love me

I need to rest in arms

Keep me safe from harm

In pouring rain

Give me endless summer

Lord, I fear the cold

Feel I'm getting old

Before my time

As my soul heals the shame

I will grow through this pain

Lord, I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

...

Go easy on my conscience

'Cause it's not my fault

I know I've been taught

To take the blame

Rest assured my angels

Will catch my tears

Walk me out of here

I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame

...

I will grow through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

...

Once you've found that lover

You're homeward bound

Love is all around

Love is all around

I know some have fallen on stony ground

But love is all around

...

Send someone to love me

I need to rest in arms

Keep me safe from harm

In pouring rain

Give me endless summer

Lord, I fear the cold

Feel I'm getting old

Before my time

As my soul heals the shame

I will grow through this pain

Lord, I'm doin' all I can

To be a better man

...
