My laugh's a lie, my soul's a sigh
My hand's are heavy and empty
I'm grey and tired, and uninspired
When I'm far from you
The sun can keep it's shine
Precipitation's fine
I'm sure he'll see I'm half of me
When I'm far from you
And months and miles, and weeks and whiles
And mornings heavy with headaches
So many ways to count the days
When I'm far from you
The moon won't glow alone
He's just a lonely stone
So far, so wide, my heart must hide
When I'm far from you
No snakes or snails, or puppy tails
I know what you are made of
If love's defiled you're still it's child
When I'm far from you
Your uncle keeps me drunk
But sorrows never sunk
I fingered fun with everyone
When I'm far from you
