The current will rise much faster
Makes it harder to find what I'm after
The water's up, water's down and I, I can't swim
When I am lost and you are not, then no one winsOur babies have known no father
Makes it harder to call, I don't bother
So bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
The money's gone just one more song before I turn inBut you won't see me 'cause I won't be there
To help you asleep when you get scared
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
It approaches but I'm still a state away
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraidI can't erase what the past is
It's time to face circumstances
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I, I begin
The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowingThat you won't see me 'cause I won't be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared
It's the absence you're afraid and the night
It approaches but I'm still a state away
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid of the nightI'm surviving but it's still from day to day
It's still from day to day
It's still from day to dayIt's nice to come home for a weekend
The children have grown, how I've missed them
As I pull up, you walk out and we smile again
The grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and man
