If I don't have you

If I don’t have you I stand alone,
Mutilated solitude.
Silence dressed in mourning
At the most fateful hour,
No laughter, no flight:
Start to count the eyes of dawn
And the birds in every flock.
If I don’t have you I stand alone
And my voice, a cavern.

If I don’t have you I stand alone,
A scarecrow on the edge of the fields.
I can no longer wear the sun,
No longer wear the cape of air,
I move about like the slow snail
That bears its house upon its back.
If I don’t have you I sand alone
And my voice, chimera.

If I don’t have you I stand alone
Like the tallest weather vane.
As you come up, path
Of sweetscented fatigue;
As you go down, brook
Of foamy riders,
Say along with me: if I stand alone
My voice is but despair.

If I don’t have you I stand alone
Like the Evening Star.
Sound, cosmic shawm,
As you strip me of fear
On days when the sky is in revolt,
And bring thimbles of water to my eyes.
If I don’t have you I stand alone
And my voice is crucified.

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder
and I dont think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when Im dreaming of your face

Im here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

Im here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight its only you and me

The miles just keep rolling
as the people either way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated
but I hope it gets better as we go

Im here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

Im here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls, when its all said and done
it get hard but it wont take away my love

Im here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time

Im here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
