The current will rise much faster

Makes it harder to find what I'm after…



The water's up, water's 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

So, bottle up, bottle down, is how I live

The money's gone

Just one more song before I turn in.





But you won't see me

'Cause I won't be there to 

Help you asleep when you get scared

It's the absence

You're afraid and the night

It approaches but I'm still a state away

Yeah, it's the absence; you're afraid…



I can't erase what the past is

It's time to face circumstances

Sun comes up, sun goes down and I begin

The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing…



That you won't see me 

'Cause I won't be there to 

Help you asleep when you get scared…

It's the absence; you're afraid and the night 

It approaches, but I'm still a state away…

Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid…of the night…

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, you walk out and we smile again…

The grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and man…
