Missing You

Lyrics

He don't stay out anymore
 No more coming in past four
 Most nights he turns in 'round ten
 He's way too tired to pretend
 Sure, you might find him up at three
 But if he is it's just to pee
 Sometimes he's awake 'till two
 But that's just 'cause he's missing you
 He's lying there and missing you
 He don't sleep late anymore
 Up like a farmer half past four
 And when that sleepy sun pops up
 He's halfway through his second cup
 When his day's work is done 'round two
 That's when he starts in missing you
 Quarter to three, it's time to nap
 He always says, No nap, I'm crap
 His motto is, No nap, I'm crap
 Guess he's just set in his ways
 He does the same damn thing most days
 And there's seven twenty-fours a week
 With lots of down time so to speak
 But he hardly glances at a clock
 Since his routine is carved in rock
 Man's a machine, what can he do
 Keep going on just missing you
 Keep right on going missing you
 And his teeth falls out, so does his hair
 But in his dreams you're always there
 A jewel in his unconscious mind
 A miracle, a precious find
 But in the end he's all alone
 He wakes up and his jewel is gone
 There's a heaven and he knows it's true
 But he's back on earth just missing you
 And it's hell on earth
 Missing you
 Back where he started
 Missing you
