The current will rise much faster
Makes it harder to find what I'm after?
The water's up, water's down and I can't swim?
When I am lost and you are not, then no one wins?
Our babies have known no father
Makes it harder to call
I don't bother
So, bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
The money's gone
Just one more song before I turn in.
But you won't see me
'Cause I won't be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared
It's the absence
You're afraid and the night
It approaches but I'm still a state away
Yeah, it's the absence; you're afraid?
I can't erase what the past is
It's time to face circumstances
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I begin
The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing?
That you won't see me
'Cause I won't be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared?
It's the absence; you're afraid and the night
It approaches, but I'm still a state away?
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid?of the night?
We're surviving but it's still from day to day?
It's nice to come home for a weekend?
The children have grown, how I've missed them?
As I pull up, you walk out and we smile again?
The grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and man?
Makes it harder to find what I'm after?
The water's up, water's down and I can't swim?
When I am lost and you are not, then no one wins?
Our babies have known no father
Makes it harder to call
I don't bother
So, bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
The money's gone
Just one more song before I turn in.
But you won't see me
'Cause I won't be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared
