From the recording When you're not there
Lyrics
I can’t find no peace of mind
I don’t know how to unwind
When you´re away from me
Like a bird-up-a-tree
Everything is dark and grey
And I just can’t find my way
When you’re not there
I thought I was a hell of a guy
Now I sit here wondering why
I stay alive at all
Like a fly on the wall
No difference if I go astray
Nothing matters anyway
When you’re not there
Flowers die and flowers grow
Rivers dry out, rivers flow
I don’t know what’s in store
But I know one thing for sure
I need to be with you
Like a cat on the roof
I took my prey and ran away
Now I miss you every day
When you’re not there
I can go up n’ round town
I can pull my feet off the ground
To find a spot in the sun
Like a dog on the run
Put my feelings on a shelf
Replace all meaning and myself
When you’re not there
Flowers die and flowers grow
Rivers dry out, rivers flow
Everything is dark and grey
And I just can’t find my way
