lyrics
Look outside your window - the darkest sky you ever saw
And here am I, and there you are, and that's all
When you need someone, really need someone
When you need someone
The night has no pity
You dream of Waterloo
As the lightning forks in two
I see your eyes and they're still the same
The body blows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
It's all mapped out in relief like a skin of plaque on teeth
And so tense in here you can taste it; a power vacuum of sex
If you need someone
Not just anyone
If you need someone - don't search in the city
Written longhand shaped in braille
You can smell it so you want it, your holy grail
And I see your eyes
And they show no fear
Though rocketman still loses through the never changing years
I see your eyes
And they're still the same
The body blows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
She says I'd rather walk away from you than hurt you with a word
Or a smile or a gesture that you may have misheard
And took as meaning something other than what I could do
What I don't have if I don't have you!
When you need someone don't search in the city
You hauled the devils back down onto multitrack
And I see your eyes, they're still the same
The bodyblows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
I call her
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
And here am I, and there you are, and that's all
When you need someone, really need someone
When you need someone
The night has no pity
You dream of Waterloo
As the lightning forks in two
I see your eyes and they're still the same
The body blows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
It's all mapped out in relief like a skin of plaque on teeth
And so tense in here you can taste it; a power vacuum of sex
If you need someone
Not just anyone
If you need someone - don't search in the city
Written longhand shaped in braille
You can smell it so you want it, your holy grail
And I see your eyes
And they show no fear
Though rocketman still loses through the never changing years
I see your eyes
And they're still the same
The body blows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
She says I'd rather walk away from you than hurt you with a word
Or a smile or a gesture that you may have misheard
And took as meaning something other than what I could do
What I don't have if I don't have you!
When you need someone don't search in the city
You hauled the devils back down onto multitrack
And I see your eyes, they're still the same
The bodyblows absorbed in arcs of bitter pain
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
I call her
Storm cloud Katherine
Storm cloud Katherine
