When you're not near me
|
The time don't seem to move as easy
|
When you're not near me
|
The sun don't seem to feel the same
|
The days don't shine as brightly
|
And the nights don't taste as sweet
|
And this soul of mine feels
|
Lost and incomplete
|
When you're not near me
|
When you're not near me
|
I make the sound of one hand clapping
|
When you're not near me
|
I leave no footprints in the sand
|
And I can find no solace
|
In the lonely silver sea
|
I'm only half as strong and half as free
|
When you're not near me
|
When you're not near me
|
Don't be long my love
|
Oh, don't be long my love
|
It won't be long until
|
I hold you in my arms again
|
When you're not near me
|
There is no laughter in my spirit
|
When you're not near me
|
There is no spirit in my laugh
|
You are like a magnet to that iron part in me
|
And this longing never seems to let me be
|
When you're not near me
|
When you're not near me
|
