Lyrics: Andrew Bird/Gavin Brivik
Music: Andrew Bird/Gavin Brivik
Can you see him, tired and shivering?
He's stumbling through the day
Can you see his lips are quivering
Like he's forgotten how to pray?
Can you see the way he's powerless?
She's absorbing all the blows
And who will now take care of us
In the hills and valleys, the highs and lows?
All I know is you need someone
In the by and by
Need someone who is gonna cry for you
Yeah, you need someone
In the by and by
Need someone who is gonna cry for you
Sometimes you feel like someone is testing us
And you wonder how much you can take
Then you remember as your memory is blessing us
And you realize what's at stake
And you realize what's at stake
Realize that you need someone
In the by and by
Need someone who is gonna cry for you
Yeah, you need someone
In the by and by
Need someone who is gonna cry for you
Yeah, you need
Who is gonna cry for you
Yeah, you need
Someone who is gonna cry for you
Someone who is gonna cry for you
