AWAY FROM YOU
Away from you
There is no music
There is no sunlight
Tthe world is gray.
Away from you
The clocks are frozen
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way.
The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
Mya be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive
Unitl the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.
Away from you
the world is lifeless
As though creation
Has gone away
The trees are bare
There are no flowers
The fields are thirsty
The streams are dry.
We live, you an I
For a breath of sunlight
So brief an escape
From a world of gray.
Our moments of warmth
Have been touch and go, love,
But tonight, we'll touch
And stay.
The people I meet might as well be Greek.
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.
Away from you
There is no music
There is no sunlight
Tthe world is gray.
Away from you
The clocks are frozen
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way.
The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
Mya be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive
Unitl the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.
Away from you
