When we're away, I know you love me still
You're thinking of me still, but that doesn't make it easy
For me to stay, above the water here
Until another year, treading till you can be with me
Because the day, it makes the waves subside
And I am occupied by one thing or another
But when I lay my head on pillow foam, I cannot feel at home
Because we're not with each other
I don't let waves break over you my friend
As long as seas are calm and skies are blue
But when the tides turn and the stormy seas descend
There's an empty space in my arms that should be you
When we're apart, the words you say are nice
But words just can't suffice, for the absence of your fragrance
And though the art of pictures that you send, can somehow help to mend
The hole that holds your presence
I know my heart is bound to leap and slide
The miles to where you reside
Leaving me an empty carcass
'Cause from the start of this whole distance thing
Can't hear your body sing, and it's filling me with darkness
I don't let waves break over you my friend, my friend
As long as seas are calm and skies are blue
But when the tides turn and the stormy seas descend
There's an empty space in my arms that should be you
All I have are sheets of crashing waves, without a rock to stay me
From tossing and turning and rolling about on a shoreless sea
Till you hold my hand, I can't find dry land
When we're away I know that my heart
Hated the day did us this distance part
When we're apart I simply cannot stay
Sated on art, when me to sleep I lay
I don't let waves break over you my friend
As long as seas are calm and skies are blue
But when the tides turn and the stormy seas descend
There's an empty space in my arms that should be you
Should be you, empty space-ooh
