When You're Not Near Me

歌詞

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
