They Needed Each Other

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, and he couldn't come
 He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
 ♪
 He sculpted his 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
