You Don't Need Me

words and music by Udo Klopke

It ́s a fight, a plaque and delight
A search for the treasure, I just can ́t find
Buried here somewhere

It ́s words, too proud to rhyme
Traveling clouds in the back of my mind
Beautiful strangers

I ́m sitting in a nutshell on an ocean
I dig for water in the desert, with a spoon
I can hear you somewhere laughing, seems

You don ́t need me, like I need you
I circle in your orbit, ́cause you ́re the one I ́m gravitating to
Time passes by, the picture is getting clearer, now I finally can see,
That, in the way I ́m needing you, you don ́t need me,

It ́s a high, it ́s error and try,
It ́s noise in my ears, and I can ́t tell why, but I can not hear you

It ́s a riddle I can ́t solve, I ́m a hunter in the cold
I can feel that you ́re hiding there, out in the shadows

Feather-light you are sitting on my shoulder
You ́re just a thought or maybe a hundred miles away
The pot of gold, that I deserve, my four leaf clover
I can hear you somewhere laughing, seems

You don ́t need me, like I need you
I circle/tumble in your orbit, ́cause you ́re the one I ́m gravitating to
Time passes by, the picture is getting clearer, now I finally can see
That, in the way I ́m needing you, you don ́t need me
