Woke up this morning, was a chill in the air
Went into the kitchen, your cigarettes were lying there
Your jacket hung on the chair where you left it last night
Everything was in place, everything seemed all right
But you were missing
Missing...
Last night I dreamed the sky went black
You were drifting down and you couldn't get back
You were lost and in trouble so far from home
I reached for you, my arms were like stone
I woke and you were missing
Missing...
I searched for something to explain
In the whispering rain, and the trembling leaves
Tell me baby where did you go
You were here just a moment ago
There's nights I still hear your footsteps fall
I can hear your voice moving down the hall
Your smell drifts through the bedroom
I lie awake, but I don't move
You're missing, you're gone another lies
Beside you, I've no doubt, you're missing
Conspiracies of silence hide you, keep me out
They nearly had me believing that you did not exist
But I know you really left me and how you are missed
You're missing, the lover who was once
Around you has no news, you're missing
And even if by chance I found you, I'd still lose
For I know you're losing interest, instead of your
Heart, the world turns around and leaves me
Right back at the start, I'm back at the start
They nearly had me believing that you did not exist
But I know you really left me and how you are missed
You're missing, the lover who was once
Around you has no news, you're missing
And even if by change I found you, I'd still lose
For I know you're losing interest, instead of your
Heart, the world turns around and leaves me
Right back at the start, I'm back at the start
I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
You know there's something missing
The sun burned a hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn't come
And wash me down the gutter
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of a desert
A beach with no treasure
A night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walkin along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put away in a box
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there's something missing
Something always missing always
He had to switch to gin, cause Jagermeister was givin' him the shakes
I'm gone, cause I'm missing
I've lost sight, cause I'm missing
I can't stay x7
I don't care, cause I'm missing
I can't try, cause I'm missing
I can't stay (here) x8
I can't hear, cause I'm missing
I'm not right, cause I'm missing
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of ev'ryone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout, down to me
Where I always used to be
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
Past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Feeling weak today
Run the risk of tears
Falling down your cheeks
From all the lonely years
Holding back your love
While she races up the hill
Chase what you dream of
But always standing still
All and all you see
Everything is history
Think of all that you've been missing
And every now and then
Shadows bring you back again
To think of all the things you're missing
Lay the pictures out
Pull the curtains down
Don't let us see you breathe
Your happiness you fake
Sending up a flare
If anybody really cares
To talk a little while
The past to reconcile
All in all you see
Everything is history
Think of all the things you're missing
Every now and then
I can almost picture him
Think of all the things
Of all the things
Of all the things
Well I do
I do
Hear the morning creeping in
And the spirit sings again
Well you will
You will
See the beauty in this moment
Every time you're standing still
Time you're standing still
These times are temporary
Someday the wind will carry you home
And you'll be free
And you'll be free
No one will pull you down
You'll wake up and look around
And never again
Think of all, all that you've been missing
Ohh ohh ohh
All that you've been missing
All and all you see
Everything is history
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious, you'll say to no one
"Isn't something missing??
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please, forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

by David Roche
He's not dead or alive
He's not off with some other guy
He's not lost track of the time
He's just
Missing
People say hey it'll never happen to me
Just goes to show how foolish people can be
I've been waiting all night for a sign from my baby
But he's
Missing
He's not coming through the door
He's not dialing the phone
He's not out on the dance floor
He's not walking home alone
He's just Missing
He's not drugged or lost
Or trying to escape
He's not being raped
He's not in my arms
Looking in my eyes
Smiling for me
He's just
Missing
People say hey it'll never happen to me
Just goes to show how foolish people can be
I've been waiting all night for a sign from my baby
But he's
Missing
Missing, missing, missing
They said "Stick with your own kind
You're out of your depth
Think you've had it bad so far
You're not finished yet"
And all she's known is the taste of tears
She's going nowhere, can anybody hear?
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She got out quick, she couldn't take much more
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her
(Missing)
It's cold in the street
There's a cold in her nose
She's been walking all night
And the rain's soaked her clothes
She doesn't know what she's doin' here
She shrugs her shoulders, guess, that's the way it goes
An' now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She only did it 'cos she wanted much more
An' now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her, somebody help her
Somebody help her, missing
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She only did it 'cos she wanted much more
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her, somebody help her
Somebody help her, somebody help her
Burning tyres on the freeway
Noone in sight
Thre's a raging calm
Across the land tonight
Voice on the radio says
Another one's down tonight.
It don't matter anymore
Which side he's on.
Came to your place to see
If you're all right
And the shadows
Danced across the stairway
Flight after flight
And I was banging at your door
But you weren't there anymore
And the g-man stepped
Into the light and said
"this is war!"
Chorus
Uzogijima -----------(you will run away)
Well I've got to get through
'cause I know that you are near the end
Uzogijima ----------(you will run away)
Uzogijima kodwa -----(you will run away but there
Awusekho umgodi------is no hole left for you to hide in)
Wokukasha
When the big wind blows
The tree falls down
But the reed just bends
You'r missing
Roadblock across my heart
And a riot in my mind
'cause I know that you are
Out there somewhere
Trying to find a place to hide
The shadow of a ruthless hand
Is hunting for your soul
And though I don't know
Where you are
I'll never let you go
Chorus....
And I want you to know
That as things fall apart
I'm on the road to nowhere
And you're heavy on my heart
And I want you to know
That this state will never last
Maybe better days are coming
And we'll make peace with the past
I step off the train
I’m walking down your street again
and past your door
But you don’t live there anymore
It’s years since you’ve been there
But now you’ve disappeared somewhere
like outer space
You’ve found some better place
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We’d walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout
down to me Where I always used to be
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again Can I confess
I’ve been hanging around your old address?
The years have proved to offer nothing
since you moved You’re long gone
But I can’t move on
And I miss you, And I miss you,
And I miss you
like the deserts miss the rain
Wake up now little sleepyhead
From your nightmarish day with the dead trip
You'd be better off not to know
Of the wild seeds you let go
From your thorny fingertips
Try to clean bloodstained hands
That ran away and left the scene
Of a crime last night
Always thought you stood on the other side
Never thought the roof would cave in
Where you were hiding
There's a wave of fear that creeps right in
A vacant stare that can't say where it's been
Or what's been laced
The trail leads all over the place
There's an angel at your side
Who rescued you in a nick of time
Explains how you almost fell
And vanished into a fatal spell
She looks into your eyes and sees
There's something still missing
She notices a chunk bleeding from your chest
Tries to stop the bloodflow with her best compress
But the wreckage is in a mess
There's an emotional tax, figured in after the fact
And stories unfold
The world grows dark and bones get cold
S. Shifrin
Sometimes a heart has a mind of its own
Sometimes
I can tell myself that I'm better off bein' alone
Sometimes
But this time I can't hide from the thought of it
It's all around every corner I turn
Right there in lights - black and white
Why everything's wrong
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you
Tonight I can't feel any magic at all
Inside
'Cause I can't reach out for the stars
Lookin' up at the moon on my own
No signs of life - no nothin's right
Since you been gone
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you I can't sleep at night
Oh no - I can't sleep at night
There ain't no rest livin' second best
Without your love
You don't know what it's like
To feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
I'm goin' out of my head
Because of what you said
I'm goin' out of my mind
'Cause you won't be mine
It's all becuase of you that I feel this way
It's all because
If it were oh just gone
If it just wasn't there
Would I disappear
Would I even care
Avoid in the arrangement
A blindspot in my mind
A space in what's important
A black hole of some kind
It walks right beside me
Invisible to most
Not an apparition not the holy ghost
Sdumble two another day
Not knowing what is wrong
Not stolen not lost or broken
Been missing for so long
Can't quite find it in me
Fading pulse can I survive
My heart fails me again
Flatlined
But still alive
It walks right beside me
Invisible to most
Not an apparition not the holy ghost
Dragging it behind me,
Can't hold on any more
Slips through my fingers
And scatters on the floor
It hovers right above me
As I move from door to door
When I hang my head in shame
It lies then on the floor
Searching for what I may never know
It's missing I can feel it
Can't just let it go
When I reach out
I can feel it!
It walks right beside me
Invisible to most
Not an apparition not the holy ghost
It hovers right above me
As I move from door to door
When I hang my head in shame
It lies there on the floor
Talks from inside me, silent to most
Not the voice of god
Not the only ghost
Dragging it behind me,
Can't hold on any more
Slips through my fingers
And scatters on the floor
It lies there on the floor
Missing
I step off the train I'm walkin' down your street again
And past your door but you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space you've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, oh
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house and I can almost hear you shout
Down to me where I always used to be
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train I ask why did I come again
Can I confess I've been hangin' 'round your old address?
And the years have proved to offer nothin' since you moved
You're long gone but I can't move on
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
Oh, I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
I step off the train I'm walkin' down your street again
Past your door, I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space you've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, and I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
Deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
Here come the signs
Of early-warning misery
Here come the sounds
It looks like a river up to here
Underneath my head
Here comes the sight
I might just lose it ?
Here comes the part
Where you ask me for my sympathy
I just might lose my head
Have you seen me
Can you hear me
Did you think you could win me over
I've been hard to hold
I've been hard to hold
And I'm missing
I made you get down
I made you get down on your hands and knees
But I made it up
I took you away from your misery
And you can't say it's ?
Now here comes the past
It looks like what's in front of me
This may be the last
This may be the last thing you'll see of me
And it might be your key to rest
I've been hard to hold
I saw the queen
Swam out below her star on sea beneath
Though I lifted up my hands to her
She never lifted me
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me as lovers left me to bleed alone
Found something sweet on the island with daughters of Eve
But through thick and thin they've gone away
And only left their grief
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me as lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me as lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Down here love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
Down here love wasn't meant to be
It wasn't meant to be for me
Oh, something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me as lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
I felt it deep within me as lovers left me to bleed alone
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me
Something's missing in me

Every hour of every day
Children come up missing
Crazy man who has no rights
Takes the life of young ones
On a weekend pass he asks
"Hey, kid, do you want some candy?"
Crazy man proceeds to grasp
Young ones future in his hands
Keeps kids down and drives away
Left the town in dismay, dismay
Hear me cry
(Me cry)
In the night
(The night)
Someone come
And rescue me
The sun comes up
(Comes up)
No sign of us
(Of us)
And where I'm at
Is a mystery
Teach them now and show them how
So they won't come up missing
Peers and pressure go hand in hand
Every day's a moral task
Crazy man won't go away
Till the laws are passed to stay caged
Search is on for kids at night
With first in mind a child's rights
Bend to one and have no fear
Want everyone to steer clear of here
Hear me cry
(Me cry)
Deep in the night
(The night)
Someone come
And rescue me, yeah, yeah
The sun comes up
(Comes up)
No sign of us
(Of us)
And where I'm at
Is a mystery
Crazy man can, crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Crazy man can, crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Crazy, crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy man
Hear me cry
(Me cry)
Oh, so deep in the night
(The night)
Someone come
And rescue me, yeah
The sun comes up
(Comes up)
No sign of us
(Of us)
And where I'm at
Is a mystery
(Haven't found me yet)
Haven't found me yet
(Haven't found out yet)
Haven't found me yet
Don't give up just yet
(Haven't found me yet)
I'm a mystery come and rescue me
(Don't give up just yet)
How does it feel?
Now that we're softly falling
Say do you feel the same
Heroes won't fall,
heroes won't fall
How does it feel?
Now that we're slowly sinking
Say do you feel the same
It's wide open now,
wide open now
Oh, don't miss you anymore
The battlefields remain
but it's better than before
Oh, I don't miss you
Oh, don't miss you anymore
The fear remains the same
but it's better than before
Oh, I don't miss you
Heaven is wide again
Silence is always speaking
We tried now we sail - the clouds
cry as they fall,
cry as they fall
Oh, don't miss you anymore
The battlefields remain
but it's better than before
Oh, I don't miss you
Oh, don't miss you anymore
The fear remains the same
but it's better than before
Oh I don't miss you
I don't miss you
I still miss you
We couldn't stay afloat
Now we're washed upon the shore
Oh, I don't miss you anymore
On a night like this
you can't brush away
all the faces in the street
I've got so much longing in my heart
I can't even sleep
darling
there's a thick fog up ahead
the first time that I saw you
I couldn't say a thing
I walked in now, I walked in now
I walked in this room
I walked in with nothing
'cos spending time & money doesn't mean a thing
when the moon comes smiling through the trees
when the night has come like music to surround you
but you're missing
I picked her up at half past four
& felt the evening coming in her tired eyes
& everyone was leaving & the moment soon passed away
darling
there's a thick fog up ahead
the first time that I saw you
I couldn't say a thing
I walked in now, I walked in now
I walked in this room
I walked in with nothing
'cos spending time & money doesn't mean a thing
when the moon comes smiling through the trees
when the night has come like music to surround you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone we'd walk behind
While you would run
And the years have proved
To offer nothing since you've moved
And you're long gone
And I can't move on and I miss you
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
Pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you. ooh
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of ev'ryone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout, down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hangin' 'round your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer nothin' since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
And I miss you
Oh-oh (Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain) And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
Past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, and I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) Like the deserts miss
the rain
So, now you're not there,
But your ghost still burns in the air.
And finally above us the waves have come,
To take you away.
And with this song, I'll say good bye,
And thank you for what you've done to my life.
And finally, I'll say it with love.
I hope you rest, in the stars above.
And I don't understand what you died for.
We still could have given so much more.
Even though you were something I could never be.
I know you're still there watching over me.
Never knew why he would fall victim to five-dollar highs
Bending his stories, inventing new lies - telling of cancers
One way to avoid questions and answers
Chorus
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
The most likely one to achieve
Such a high
And Karl is missing tonight
What can I say to his poor father
He calls every day - looking for clues
There's no "Gingerbread Man" for him to follow
The candy man's come and taken his son
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
His face in the dirt
And his friends by his side
And Karl is missing tonight
Maybe I'm the one that's wrong - I misunderstood
You just wanna die young to come back And feel good
But is it worth the exchange? Does it keep you from harm?
The last time I saw you ~ you clutched my arm and you wept
Like a child
And Karl, he's lucky
He's learned how to fly
By keeping his knees on the ground
He's learned how to leave without saying goodbye
And Karl is missing tonight
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Will you miss me? (I, I, I, oh)
When there's nothing to see? (I, I, I, oh)
Tell me, how did this come to be? (I, I, I, oh)
And now there's no hope for you and me
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Do you still believe? (I, I, I, oh)
In you and me? (I, I, I, oh)
Are we all we could be? (I, I, I, oh)
Is it meant to be?
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
My heart is beating in a different way
I tried coming to this park just like always
A FEELING NEVER FELT
Scared of the wind blowing,
I went home running just like a child
I changed the subject when you told me you like me
SAY IT AGAIN (sorry)
I could've accepted it if you told me now
But you're already gone GONE AWAY
I wanna hear your voice MISS YOU
I miss you
I'm always looking forward to tomorrow
You said 'we've lost it' TIMING
Don't say it so easily
Please smile once more
Boyfriend, girlfriend THIS IS WHERE WE START OUR
GOODBYES
Right? such us eternity..
I dont need the promise you can't even say anymore
I just wanna be by your side
The vast sky outside my window
WHERE ARE YOU NOW (accept it )
If you'll grant my wish someday,
God please do it now MY WISH
I've loved you IT'S TOO LATE since the beginning
I cant just think it's all said and done even if i give
You said 'it cant be helped' NO WAY
Don't decide so easily
HERE AT LAST ON MY OWN SOLITUDE
I wanna hear your voice MISS YOU
I miss you
Doushite mou ashita o miteru no
I wanna hear your voice MISS YOU
I miss you
Im always looking forward to tomorrow
You said 'we've lost it' TIMING
Don't say it so easily
Just once more
I've loved you IT'S TOO LATE since the beginning
I cant just think it's all said and done even if i give
You said 'it cant be helped' NO WAY
Don't decide so easily
Fail to see...
Will not feel...
Can't even remember how to...
Feel...Pain...
Want to touch...
Nothing here...
Gone...
Nothing here...gone...
Cannot care...
Flesh is cold...
Gone...
Cannot care...
Tears have dried...
Everything But The Girl
I step off the train
I'm walkin' down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of ev'ryone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout, down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess

And I miss you, and I miss you
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
And I miss you, yeah
(Like the deserts miss the rain)
Deserts miss the rain
(Like the deserts miss the rain) Like the deserts miss the rain
Take a look around
Tell me what you see
Do your eyes sing of un-describable things
You've never heard or even seen
If you take the time you'll see
There's something missing
You're missing the fun
Missing the run
Missing it all
You're missing me
Missing the point
Of you're every breath
Missing it all
You're missing me
From up here my view is clear
I see the tears fall from your eyes caused by fear
Of the unknown, of being alone
If you take the time you'll see
There's something missing
You're missing the fun
Missing the run
Missing it all
You're missing me
Missing the point
Of your every breath
Missing it all
You're missing me
The growing grass, the blowing wind, the shooting stars you see
If you look close enough you'll notice that they're all written by me
You're missing the fun
Missing the run
Missing it all
You're missing me
Missing the point
Of your every breath
Missing it all
You're missing me
You're missing the fun
Missing the run
Missing it all
You're missing me
Missing the point
Of your every breath
Missing it all
You're missing me
You're missing me
Dead stars, new moon
There's no way home
The gloom here she has swallowed
All memories of the sun
Pale visions corrode and hollow
Searching for the missing ones
Cruel dreams circle and divide
Memories distort and collide
Lost
No home
Only the cold earth
Will hold these bones
The gloom here she has swallowed
Memories of what was won
Pale visions corrode the hollow
Praying to the missing one
Dark wind, black rain
There's no way home
Lost
No home
Only the cold earth
Will hold these bones
Sleeping here under the stars
Truth rings out from the darkness
While the past escapes our lonely hearts
All past cries may be silenced
Lost
No home
Only the cold earth
Will hold these bones
The cold wind breaks our shells
The cold wind sets us free
Dead stars, new moon
Hello heart, where have you been?
We really need to talk, if I could find the conversation
Now in the pale light of my room
I think I see You, I think I see You
So nice to see you smile again
Maybe you never left at all
But I have to say, I’ve been missing myself lately
I was beginning to think that love would never show
Take my hand
You are all that this life’s needing
You are the one who keeps me breathing
Hold me close
I’ll never be alone again
Now that I found a friend like You
Goodbye innocence, who did I think I was?
It seems I had myself wrapped around my finger
Now the advice I used to give can take the fall
So nice to hear you sing again
Maybe you never stopped at all
But I have to say, I’ve been missing myself lately
I was beginning to think that love would never show
You were right here all along
You were right here, always right here
Cradled within a hand
She finds the strength to stand
She reaches out with both hands
To caress a face she can't understand
A world she can't find
She knows in her mind
She can see it so clearly
But when the hour glass spills
Its last grains of sand
She must turn it over
And continue her life
Before the dream began
Have you seen me?
When you escape
Into your castle of sand
Do you find me
Among the pictures on the wall?
Do you fall to your knees?
Can you tell me who I am?
Mourning by a sullen door
Mother collapses to the floor
Crippled from the stolen years
Captured memories stained in tears
Once held the future
Now it's lost in years
Cradle still for many years
Have you seen me?
When you escape
Into your castle of sand
Do you find me
Among the pictures on the wall?
Do you fall to your knees?
You say if I draw nearer
You'll be right at my side
So I don't know why
I left today
Maybe, maybe it was pride
Why do I think this way
Your words don't captivate me
My heart is hard
Back to the start
Find you again
Find you again
And now your words are piercing deeper
Things are clear
It's in the heart you reside
You took the blame
But we didn't give anything
Gotta give up the game and the ghost of every reason
Why do we think this way?
Your words should change our hearts
Yeah, change
They say, "Let us learn true love"
My heart is hard
Back to the start
Find you again
Find you again
My heart is hard (we've gone missing)
Back to the start (we've gone missing)
My heart is hard (we've gone missing)
Back to the start (we've gone missing)
Find you again, (he is finding, he is finding)
Find you again (he is finding, he is finding)
He is finding, he is finding
We've gone missing
We've gone missing...
Burning tyres on the freeway
Noone in sight
Thre's a raging calm
Across the land tonight
Voice on the radio says
Another one's down tonight.
It don't matter anymore
Which side he's on.
Came to your place to see
If you're all right
And the shadows
Danced across the stairway
Flight after flight
And I was banging at your door
But you weren't there anymore
And the G-man stepped
Into the light and said
"This is war!"
Chorus
Uzogojima (you will run away)
Well I've got to get through
'Cause I know that you are near the end
Uzogojima (you will run away)
Uzogojima kodwa (you will run away but there
Awusekho umgodi is no hole left for you to hide in)
Wokukasha
When the big wind blows
The tree falls down
But the reed just bends
You'r missing
Roadblock across my heart
And a riot in my mind
'Cause I know that you are
Out there somewhere
Trying to find a place to hide
The shadow of a ruthless hand
Is hunting for your soul
And though I don't know
Where you are
I'll never let you go
Chorus....
And I want you to know
That as things fall apart
I'm on the road to nowhere
And you're heavy on my heart
And I want you to know
That this state will never last
Maybe better days are coming
And we'll make peace with the past
And as I wander down to where you lay
the blood rushed up to meet the roses
in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
how can you touch me
when you're not really there?
Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
climbing fast the sun broad streaming
laughter down into your empty gaze
where can I find out
how I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you ... calling calling calling calling
whispering your love song in my ear
how can you touch me?
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were
Two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind
While you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you
Shout down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train
I ask
Why did I come again?
Can I confess
I've been hanging'round
Your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer nothing
Since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
And I miss you-
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you - Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you - Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Could you be dead?
You always were
Two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind
While you would run
And the years have proved
To offer nothing
Since you moved
And you're long gone
And I can't move on
And I miss you
And I miss you - Like the deserts miss the rain
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
Pass your door
But you don't live there anymore
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there any more
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Oh)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain (and I miss you)
And I miss you (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain (like the deserts miss the rain)
(And I miss you)
(And I miss you, Ohh)
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout
Down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Oh)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain (and I miss you)
(And I miss you)

I am Doolittle but I do a lot
I try to do the best with what I've got
Sometimes nobody notices at all
If I stood on a chair, I'd be taller
I know there's a million people like me
I'm sure a kick up the bum's all we need
We plan but it never comes true
All I need is somebody like you
Because I'm missing how you found me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing how you found me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you find me, find me, finally found me
When I fall nobody helps me up
And when I call nobody's pickin' up the phone
It seems they won't even call me upon
Stickin' my face on a lamppost
So if you see me in your favorite spot
Just remember I could give you a lot
'Cause I stray in whatever I do
All I need is somebody like you
Because I'm missing how you found me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing how you found me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you find me, find me, finally found me
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
So when you see me in your favorite spot
Just remember I could give you a lot
I came to see you when there's no use pretendin'
Let's hope it's a happier ending
Because I'm missing, yeah, you'll find me
I can't afford a bigger world but, baby, I'm reliable
I'll never go
If you find me, find me, find me, find me
Because I'm missing and you'll find me
If anybody has a key to spare a little dream for me
I'll let it be
That you finally, finally, finally found me

We're missing you
Since you left we still can't sleep at night
I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
but you don't live there anymore.
It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space,
you've found some better place,
and I miss you
- like the deserts miss the rain.
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead

We'd walk behind while you would run.

and I can almost hear you shout
down to me
where I always used to be,
and I miss you -

Back on the train,
I ask why did I come again.
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address?
And the years have proved
to offer nothing since you moved.
You're long gone
but I can't move on,
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
I guess you don't live there anymore.
It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space,
you've found some better place,
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
and I miss you -
One who's scorched by the fire, I stand alone brazen-faced
Love's become an open fumace, my follies stoked the fireplace
Blind to the peril around me, my resistance wearing thin
I fell prey to the power of temptation, and the brand of infidelity kissed
My skin
With each kiss a heart breaking, with a touch her love dies for me
Slowly desintegrates
Blackned by coals of deception, I cry for redemption far too late
Here today, gone tomorrow
Trail of tears leads to sorrow
Leads to sorrow
Alone I wallow in my suffering
So much regret behind my stare
Is love lost or just misplaced?
Can a heart broken be repaired?
With each thought conscience burning, with a sign her love dies for me
Cannot exonerate
Eyes filled with discontent, I plead for forgiveness far too late
Here today, gone tomorrow
Trail of tears leads to sorrow
No reprieve, despite your wishing
Trust betrayed, now she's missing
Her image you cannot replace
Missing, you hope to reconcile, but you've lost face
With each day soul searching, with the night I cry
"Restore me, reverse this morose state
Never again shall I falter, afford me this one mistake"
Fear today, loathe tomorrow
Trail of Tears leads to sorrow
Dream of when you were kissing
So aware of what you're missing
(Oh why didn't I tell you?)
I threw your picture in the fire
I watched you melt away
You turned to smoke,
You burned my eyes
But I couldn't escape
My love for you remains
So why was I afraid?
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
(Take back everything I said to you)
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
They said we never would survive
And I believed the lies
And then their words were verified
When I replaced my heart for your demise
But you were always on the side
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
(Take back everything I said to you)
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand,
The way you love,
The way you were when no one was looking
That you were beautiful and you were worth it all
You were everything I need
You captured my attention,
Did I mention I think you're beautiful, darling?
If I could tell you now,
I'd tell you how the world is dark now that you're missing
Now that you're missing
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
And why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
(Take back everything I said to you)
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand,
The way you love,
The way you were
Why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
And you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
You captured my attention, did I mention?
So why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
That you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
If I could tell you now
(verse 1)
Im stuck in this world alone,
Everybody left and went home,
Im standing around,
Waiting for a time to stand my ground,
And all these useless years,
Still they bring hopeless tears,
My life to you means everything,
So im not gonna give up,
Tell me why i should!
(chorus)
You give me too much attention,
And i think about all the things i cant mention,
Your spending too much time,
Making up a crime,
And ill tell you right this instant,
Thats what im missin...
(verse 2)
Now these days bring back helpless memories,
Tho nobody ever sees,
Why im so depressed,
Its just too much stress,
I cant hold all this sorrow,
Ill just wait till tomarrow,
But oh the world is gonna end,
I just cant pretend,
Tell me why i should!
(chorus)
You give me too much attention,
And i think about all the things i cant mention,
Your spending too much time,
Making up a crime,
And ill tell you right this instant,
Thats what im missin...
(verse 3)
your all i see,
A depressing sea,
Misery falling,
Mind is calling,
And all i feel,
Most is real,
But some i cant describe,
So ill just try,
Tell me why i should!
(chorus)
You give me too much attention,
And i think about all the things i cant mention,
Your spending too much time,
Making up a crime,
(chorus)
You give me too much attention,
And i think about all the things i cant mention,
Your spending too much time,
Making up a crime,
And ill tell you right this instant,
Thats what im missin...
