Without You

It's been such a long time since I heard from you
And meanwhile at this end nothing much is new
Work is just like always, and the days pass just the same
Today was clear, but soon we'll get some rain

I'm drinking too much wine
And time hangs heavy waiting for you
The house seems very empty without you
Maybe life's too tame
Morning coffee's not the same
And all our friends keep asking about you

It was so good to hear that you are doing well
But I can't shake the feeling there is more to tell
I know you said you miss me, but I'm not convinced you do
Anyway, not like I'm missing you

The politicians talk
After work I take a walk
And wish you could be walking with me too
The leaves have fallen down
They're ankle-deep upon the ground
There isn't much to do here without you

Write and say you're fine
Tell me that you're coming home soon
Tell me that I'm silly to feel blue
I'm drinking too much wine
And time hangs heavy waiting for you
There isn't much to do here without you
