Steve Tranter’s Lyudmila’s Song (Tara Turner) by GM Jon

I’d be the world’s Most hopeless case And I’d be living In an empty space Were it not for you Were it not for you You see, I gotta explain The only way I can do With a few rhyming words Why I’m depending on you For I’d be truly lost If our stars hadn’t crossed And were it not for you Like a shell washing up On a distant tide Or a cloud clinging on To a mountainside I’d be lost I’d be lost without you. Yes, I’d be the world’s Most hopeless case And I’d be living In an empty space And I’d never find My perfect place Were it not for you And I can’t wait Till I see you again Like a flower needs A few drops of rain And a traveller needs A railway train Cos I’m depending on you. Like a mountain goat Needs a dusty trail And a sailing boat needs A breeze to sail When I’m with you I know I just cant fail That’s why I’m depending on you The world’s quite cosy By a snug fireplace But it ain’t got nothing On your warm embrace So why don’t I Cut straight to the chase And tell it straight To your sweet little face Girl, I’m depending on you And if I see a dark cloud Coming my way I won’t be cowed For I’ll hope and pray That I’m the lucky fella Who’s sharing your umbrella And I’ll be able to say On every single passing day I’m depending on you Yes, I’m depending on you
