Missing You

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
