Same when I left you   Now the same upon return   As your pages flip over   You seem to let them burn   You drink from the bottle   That stole your friend   Your friend   Your friend   Now the seasons   They come and they go   I watch the blossoms   As the bees take their own   I peer through the water   That floods my eyes   My eyes   My eyes      I want you in my life   I feel I need you in my life   But I can't have you   Not tonight   Not these days   Not these days   Not these days   Not these days      I watch our children   As they play in the sand   Speaking those words   That only you can understand   I know inside of you   You feel that they are gold   You know there's time   They are not yet old      They want you in their lives   I feel they need you in their lives   But they can't have you   Not tonight   Not these days   Not these days   Not these days   Not these days      I hope these things   They come alive inside you   And you recognise   I hope these things      They come alive and bite you   In the night   I see you standing with each child   And laughing    As you feed their smiles   I hope these things   They come alive and bite you   In the night   Because we   We need you   In our lives   Because we   We need you      In our lives   Because these days are   These days are nothing   Tell me where do we fit in   These days are   These days are nothing   Tell me where do we fit in
