Lyrics
When the milk of human kindness goes sour
And people grow meaner by the hour
You look for a savior someone who could it be
I?m no where close to a savior
But you can count on me
Yeh, count on me
I?m no where close to a savior
But you can count on me
When the dog bites the hand that feeds him
You?re feelin? like you want someone who needs you then
You look for guidance as you look to the sky
Why don?t you look a little lower
To you and I
Yeh, count on me
You can look a little lower
And count on me
When the candle in the window no longer burns bright
And you?re in your bed alone each and every night
When your friends all turn their backs on you
That?s when I?ll come
And I?ll be beside you
Yeh, count on me (girl)
That?s when I?ll come
You can count on me
