lyrics

We stood upon the answers
Then we scattered to the winds
I dug a pit of questions
And your absence filled it in

I try to feel your absence
Like a drought endures its pain
I know that I still love you
And that love can bring the rain

You found your paints and easel
And the canvas of my soul
You coloured in a half moon
But your absence made it whole

I try to see your absence
Like a wiseman sees the night
A journey through the darkness
To awaken in the light

I’m languishing in prison
And I did commit the crime
My blunder was the sentence
And your absence is the time

I try to feel your absence
As an earthworm feels the ground
He moves a good inch forward
And he feels some hope around

Your panties on my laptop
And your message on the sheets
You left a last impression
That no absence can delete

I try to see your absence
Like some Shakespeare with his pen
I want to rip my heart out
But I get to write the end
