He Wants You Poem by Charlie F. Kane

The rain pours down into the night
And the lonesome actor sighs
You know that he was never one to fool you.
And the crumbling powers march in the street
While all the clowns kind of dance and weep
And pretend that they know what it means.
He wants you, you know that he wants you.

While all the drunk men sleep
And the newspapers lie in heaps
And the silver tongued losers
All do cartwheels across the floor,
You know that he wants you,
He wants you so badly.

He wants you out of his dreams tonight,
He wants you to count the stars tonight
Because he’s making a wish on them.

And as the Phantoms hide behind the lines
And the crimson hues make casual lies
You know that he’s there for you,
Because he wants you, oh he wants you.
