Women and Men

The current will rise much faster
Makes it harder to find what I'm after
The water's up, water's down and I, 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
So 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
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid

I can't erase what the past is
It's time to face circumstances
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I, 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
Yeah, it's the absence you're afraid of the night

I'm 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
