You Won't Be There Lyrics

(Lead vocal - Dave Townsend)

Show me a promised land and I will go anywhere
And if you ask me to take my time I'll wait for years
I'll hold on though the whole world tells me I'm wrong
Someday, someday
But it seems so long

Ask me to prove my love and I will do anything
So if they turn off the light of the sun why should I care
I'll hold on thought the whole world tells me I'm wrong
Then in the morning as you leave me
You touch my hand to show how much you care
But just when I need you
You won't be there

Oh I'll hold on but I need a shoulder to lean on
Why if you love me must you leave me
Why are you going anywhere
Why must our love be something in the air
Cause just when I need you
You won't be there
You won't be there

The Alan Parsons Project was a British rock group active from 1975 until 1990, founded by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson both from London, England. The group is based on a number of regular group members such as Stuart Elliot and Ian Bairnson, complemented with varying lead vocals such as Colin Blunstone (the Zombies), Chris Rainbow and Gary Brooker (Procol Harum). The group is well known for its concept albums, which cover themes such as Edgar Allan Poe, Gaudi, and Freud.

Eric Woolfson wrote most of the music and lyrics while Alan Parsons overviewed the production process. Prior to starting his Project, Parsons worked as an engineer with names such as the Beatles(Abbey Road, the Get Back roofttop concert) and Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon, Atom Heart Mother).

Since the 1990s Alan Parsons has been performing live shows, touring all over the world, but without Eric Woolfson. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
