MISS YOU

I'd give away everything
Everything I possess
Things don't mean anything
They don't bring happiness
I'm living day to day
Just about hanging on
Everything's strange to me
Ever since you've been gone

Look at the trees outside
Buds turning into green
I've seen a side to me
I thought I'd never see
I want so much to be strong
But I know the truth of it
I don't care what's gone on
I don't care not one bit

Still - I miss you
More than a child needs toys
More than a band needs noise
More than a stream needs rain
Won't you come home again

I'd have been brave for you
Move heaven and earth for you
I'd paint the sky so it
Was always blue for you
So say the songs we sing
So say the books we read
But you don't want anything
Cos you're not in love with me

Still - I miss you
More than a cliff needs waves
This is the life you'd save
I don't know what to say
It just won't go away

Sleeping like spoons we lay
Peaceful and satisfied
You kiss my morning face
Just before day arrived
Is that what you're doing now
Warm as you ever were
Is that what you're doing now
But not with me - with her

But - I miss you
Through all my wildest dreams
I've shouted and I've screamed
I don't know what to do
I'm still in love with you

Oh - how I miss you
These are the plans we laid
This is the life we made
All of this love in vain
Won't you come home again
