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 circumstancesas 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…
