When You're Away - Tina Dickow

You give yourself to strangers

There’s little left for those you love

Postcards express from every corner of the world

They just don’t express enough

You lose yourself to players

You stake your sanity for fun

But years from now when they come and find you to collect

You’ll be lonely on the run

There’ll be no scene at the airport

No-one begging you to stay

And all the people you care for

You will have pushed them all away

So before you leave tonight I need to say

That I love you more than words could ever say

I miss you every minute of the day

When you’re away

I spend my hours waiting

There’s little else for me to do

Someday a lonely soul will stop outside my window

And who knows it might be you

There’ll be no scene at the airport

No-one praying you won’t go

And all the people we care for

Move on if we don’t let them know

So I have to tell you now before you go

That I love you more than words could ever say

And I miss you every minute of the day

When you’re away

When you’re away

You’re so far away

So far away

I love you more than words could ever say

I miss you every second of the day

When you’re away…
