Find my love

cats are crying, gates are slamming
the wind is howling ’round the house tonight
I’m as lonely as a boat out on the sea
when the night is black and the tide is high

oh, on nights like these
feel like falling to my knees
feel like falling [sic] “heaven please...

find my love, hup
find my love, r-r-r-r-r-r
find my love
{spoken:} [that was lovey singing]
find my love

well I, I turn the dial on my radio
trying to find an all night station
want to hear a song I know
a song about my situation

oh, on nights like these
feel like falling to my knees
feel like calling “heaven please...

find my love
find my love, find my love, find my love
find my love
find my love

somewhere out there there must be
a boy for this girl
could be anywhere, could be next door
or the other side of the world

call up my radio give them my number
tell them to put it out on the air
there must be someone, there must be someone like me
sitting lonely as a boat out there

{spoken:} sing!
oh, on nights like these
feel like falling to my knees
feel like calling “heaven please...

find my love
find my love
find my love
find my love

{spoken:} Graham Henderson

– accordion solo

somewhere out there there must be
a boy for this girl
could be anywhere, could be next door
or the other side of the world

call up my radio give them my number
tell them to put it out on the air
there must be someone, there must be someone like me
sitting lonely as a boat out there

oh, on nights like these
feel like falling to my knees
feel like calling “heaven please...

find my love
find my love, find my love, find my love
find my love, find my love
find my love, find my love, find my love
find my love, yep, find my love
find my love, oh-eeeeh—
{find my love} find my love
find my love”, hup

– triplets, accordion solo

commentary
in the announcement for the next track, ‘ Wild mountainside’, which follows the applause for this song as part of this track, Eddi reveals that she secretly calls the Eddi Reader sings the songs of Robert Burns album Tender heart, partly because it has a non-Burns song (the aforementioned, and upcoming ‘ Wild mountainside’) and partly because it’s such a long title!
