In the absence of you

I can feel that I'm slipping

Trying to hold on to something tonight

There's no life in this town

Only my shadow gone drinking

Trying to forget myself falling

Straight through you

And I'm so far away

So far away

Trying to hold on to someone somewhere waiting

So far away from you

And every little thing there is about you

Staying with me all the time

I try to get myself together and pull through

But I'm walking blind

Oh so blind

So far away

So far away

Trying to hold on to someone somewhere waiting

There's no me without you

Just a dead way drifting

Down on the river with nothing

Into the ocean blue

Fading away in the absence of you
