The current will rise much faster, makes it harder to find what I'm afterâ'‚¬¦

The water's up, the waters down and I can't swimâ'‚¬¦when I am lost and you are not then no one winsâ'‚¬¦

Our babies have known no father, makes it harder to callâ'‚¬¦I don't botherâ'‚¬¦bottle up, bottle down, is how I liveâ'‚¬¦the moneys' gone just one more song before I turn inâ'‚¬¦

Chorus:

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

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 knowingâ'‚¬¦

Chorus:

That you won't see me because I won't be there to help you asleep when you get scaredâ'‚¬¦it's the absence, you're afraid and the night approaches but I'm still a state awayâ'‚¬¦scared, it's the absence your afraidâ'‚¬¦of a fightâ'‚¬¦we're surviving but it's still from day to dayâ'‚¬¦

It's nice to come home for a weekendâ'‚¬¦the children have grown, how I've missed themâ'‚¬¦

As I pull up and you walk out we smile againâ'‚¬¦the grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and manâ'‚¬¦
