Album: Under Cold Blue Stars

Women And Men

The current will rise much faster, makes it harder to find what I'm after…

The water's up, the waters down and I can't swim…when I am lost and you are not then no one wins…

Our babies have known no father, makes it harder to call…I don't bother…bottle up, bottle down, is how I live…the moneys' gone just one more song before I turn in…

Chorus:

But you won't see me because I won't be there to help you asleep when you get scared…it's the absence, you're afraid and the night it's approaches but I'm still a state away…scared, it's the absence your afraid…

I can't erase what the past is, it's time to face circumstances..as the sun comes up, the sun goes down and I begin the days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing…

Chorus:

That you won't see me because I won't be there to help you asleep when you get scared…it's the absence, you're afraid and the night approaches but I'm still a state away…scared, it's the absence your afraid…of a fight…we're surviving but it's still from day to day…

It's nice to come home for a weekend…the children have grown, how I've missed them…

As I pull up and you walk out we smile again…the grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and man…
