| If I needed you would you come to me | |
| Would you come to me, for to ease my pain | |
| If you needed me I would come to you | |
| I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain. | |
| Well, the night's forlorn and the morning's born | |
| And the morning's born with the lights of love | |
| And you'll miss sunrise if you close your eyes | |
| And that would break my heart in two. | |
| If I needed you would you come to me | |
| Would you come to me, for to ease my pain | |
| If you needed me I would come to you | |
| I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain. | |

| Baby's with me now since I showed her | |
| How to lay her lily hand in mine | |
| Who could, I'll agree she's a sight | |
| To see a treasure for the poor to find. | |
| If I needed you would you come to me | |
| Would you come to me, for to ease my pain | |
| If you needed me I would come to you | |
| I would swim the sea, for to ease your pain... |
