Women And Men

The current will rise

Much faster

Makes it harder to find

What I'm after



The water's up

The waters 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



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

Scared it's the absence

You're afraid



I can't erase

What the past is

It's time to face

Circumstances



The 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

Scared it's the absence

You're afraid of a fight

Oh we're surviving but it's still



From day to day

It's still from day to day

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
