Tom Flannery I'm Missing You
Memories don't fade in the darkthey creep behind the
eyes
your face grows clearer with all the words
and all the passive lies
I'm missing you like a limb that's gone
torn off by the guns of war
I'm missing you like a child's smile
sliding underneath the door
How many times have I looked to the door
expecting it to swing
and open wide with your smile
let loose on everything
I'm missing you like the summer breeze
that tamps down the heat gone by
I'm missing you like the autumn leaves
that always make me cry
I put one foot in front of the other
but I still don't get nowhere
I can see the scenery drifting
but I reach and nothing's there
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
My prayers have all gone unanswered
like my questions always will
hope as ever present
as money lifted from the till
I'm missing you like I never thought
I could miss someone before
I'm missing you like a pair of shoes
when they're reaching for the floor
You may be lost but not forgotten
a restless heart that roams
know that your will sustains me
until you make it home
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
Memories don't fade in the dark
they creep behind the eyes
your face grows clearer with all the words
and all the passive lies
I'm missing you like a limb that's gone
torn off by the guns of war
I'm missing you like a child's smile
sliding underneath the door
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
