Lyrics ~ Abbey Road Sessions Recorded Live 7.9.1992
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
I was a stranger moving from place to place
Driven by a need for something I could not explain
I was lost in a no mans land between night and day
Travelling a road that was leading me astray
Every time I tried to find it, tried to find it, tried to find it
Every time I tried to find it I’d lose my way
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
I was a loser each time I rolled the dice
Sixes or sevens told the story of my live
The train kept a rollin’ thunderin’ down the miles
The train kept a rollin’ all day and night
Every time I tried to find it, tried to find it, tried to find it
Every time I tried to find it I’d lose my way
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
A whispered name
A naked flame
Imagination
Wide awake
I lost my way until you saved me
All I ever wanted was you
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
