I Never Needed You Like This Before Lyrics

Trey Anastasio I Never Needed You Like This Before

[Verse 1]
There's something in this silent wood that won't
Although I know it could
Ensnare us in a veil so black
We'd never find the passage back
There's something in your silent eyes that won't
Although I wonder why (I never needed you like this before)
Consume me in a fire so deep
That I could never get to sleep (I never needed you like this before)

[Verse 2]
The creatures in the wood alight
And find their feathers in the night
Aflame as moonlight fills the skies
The same I found within your eyes
And so in slumber I will find
The wood reflected in your eye
Is cast ablaze with flame so bright
It lifts, at last, the veils of night

[Outro]
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
I never needed you like this before
