MISSING YOU
© Audrey Auld 1998 (APRA)
Train whistle moans in the distance
Birds cry out across the bay
The night hangs heavy without ending
Filled with the ghost of where you lay
The house stands quiet as a tombstone
Rain falls steady like my tears
Somewhere out there you’re leaving
The echo of goodbye is all I hear
Then I get to missing you
And wishing you were here
Longing for the tenderness
I felt when you were near
Then I get to crying
Crying all night long
Then I get to missing you
But you’re so far gone
The rain on the water in the morning
It’s winter in my heart and I’m cold
You left a shell and a memory
Took with you your love and my soul
Then I get to missing you
And wishing you were here
Longing for the tenderness
I felt when you were near
Then I get to crying
Crying all night long
Then I get to missing you
But you’re too far-gone.
