I'll Be Around

Steve Vai

Words fall silent when no one will hear

Emotions are deadly when there's too much to fear

Touch a feeling and we feel again

To know the pleasure, we must know the pain



I'm going down for the last time

Open your eyes



Who's gonna hear you when you're callin'

And who's gonna catch you when you're fallin'

Who's gonna trust you

Well I'll be around for a while



And who's gonna heal you when you're bleeding

And who's gonna give to you when you're needing

And who's gonna love you

Well I'll be around for a while



When love lies bleeding only fools are bold

They search for pennies in a pot of gold

Faith is dying when no one's to trust

But your soul is crying

And it's glorious



It's coming down to the last time

Open your heart



Who's gonna hear you when you're callin'

And who's gonna catch you when you're fallin'

And who's gonna laugh with you

Well I'll be around for a while



And who's gonna warm you when you're freezing

And who's gonna hold you when you're screaming

And who's gonna promise you

to be around for a while



There you stand, drowning in the rain

Kidding yourself the wind don't sting

And all this time the thing you want is calling to you



I dig the way you take that storm

While spitting in the face of right and wrong

Well you could let down your defenses

When you're in my arms



You could my face

in my arms

You could dream on and on

in my arms

You would never be alone

in my arms

You could cry like a child

in my arms



Who's gonna hear you when you're callin'

And who's gonna catch you when you're fallin'

And who's gonna trust you

Well I'll be around for a while



And who's gonna mend you when you're broken

And who's gonna find you when you're stolen
