Kim Carnes — When I'm Away From You

When I'm Away From You

(originally by Frankie Miller)

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 it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right

When I'm away from you I see grey 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 that 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 wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right

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 that keep me hangin' on
And you know, don't you know ?

When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends

When I'm away from you, my boy
When I'm away from you, my little boy
When I'm away from you
When I'm away from you
When I'm away from you, my boy, oh, my little boy
When I'm away from you the wine won't flow
When I'm away from you -- no, no, no
When I'm away from you the wine won't flow
When I'm away from you -- no, no, no
