For Absent Friends Lyrics

Biding my time waiting tables every night,

My friends are doing just fine, but the absent ones never leave our minds.

The world of intellect and cigarettes has long gone,

And what I crave is human made it’s false and forlorn.

But I have to swallow my pride,

As my Dad says wait your time.

But I could break down and cry,

‘cos what would my mates say if they could see from the sky?

And it keeps my heart from going back,

And it keeps my heart from going back.

Life was better back then,

Hoping and wishing for when.

Our future was but a fixation,

Not a figure of my imagination.

The world of Friday night and kissing goodbye has long gone.

And what I crave in naïve states of falling in love with the wrong men again.

I swallow my pride,

As my Dad says wait your time.

But I could break down and cry,

‘cos what would my mates say if they could see from the sky?

And it keeps my heart from going back,

And it keeps the bolts in my brain from going slack.

God only knows I miss the weather,

We used to have when I was young.

When it would rain in September and snow on the people life should snow on.

But the thought that it’s not gone…

Keeps my heart from going back,

Keeps my heart from going back.

Ooo

Ooo
