When I'm away from you, I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you, well, it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you, I see great big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
It seems to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you, the sun don't shine
The moon don't come, the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you, I can't let go
And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worthwhile
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hangin' on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you, the wine won't flow
The tides don't turn and the winds don't blow
I'm up all through the night
I can't tell wrong from right

When I'm away from you, little girl
It's only for the night, yeah
Can't tell the wrong from the right

I'm away from you, my girl
Only for the night
It's only before that it's right
