Absence Songtext
von Rab Noakes

I′m rising early now my baby's away
I′m trying to find enough to fill up my day
I build a fire, take the dogs for a walk
Hoping I meet no one who wants me to talk
It's early August, there's a nip in the air
The climate′s changing but I don′t really care
I'm getting tired of all this being alone
Sometimes I wonder if you′ll ever come home


Where your absence just fills every space
How can that be when you left without a trace
The days were different when we used to sleep late
You always said you were my permanent mate
It seems so cold, so empty somehow
These words don't mean a thing to me
Now that your absence just fills every space
How can that be when you left without a trace

I don′t know if it's loss or gain
I feel no joy, I feel no pain
Dark or light, it′s all the same to me
I'm rising early now my baby's away
