They Needed Each Other Lyrics

They started as children and grew to be friends



 He with his sculptor's hands she with her needle



 They went through some bitter times alone and together



 They were lovers and friends, but friends more than



 lovers



 Sharing each other with their own private worlds



 



 He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come



 He needed her, but she could not answer his needs



 



 He sculpted he form only both of them knew



 He yearned to finish before she would leave him forever



 But before he was finished, she disappeared



 And seized with sadness, he crumbled the statue to bits



 



 Form and friend, gone forever



 Both crumbled down to memory



 



 He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come



 He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
