'Cause I am a black dog howling at the moon
A long winter in a cocoon
A dying man in a living room, and I know it well
Can I be more than a deer in the road?
Same clothes, same postcode
I don't deserve the love that I am shown
But someday I will
'Cause I, I need time, so I can be
Who you need me to be, so hold out please
I am the river, you're the mayflies falling
It covers all like a pink sky morning
You're shouting out into a vacuum miles away
Love towers above me like a tidal wave
Reminder of the friends we couldn't save
So comes the day of reckoning like a parade
'Cause I, I need time, so I can be, who you need me to be
I, I need time
