You're Not There

There’s a shadow of you that lingers over all I do and say
Like a mist on morning water, it quickly fades away
But my tears fall from the memories and scatter in the wind
And when the day is over here you come rolling back again

I guess there’s no escaping, I can feel it in my bones
I hear it in the wind at night when I'm here alone
You've found another someone to take you home
No more second chances, this time you're really gone

I've seen you here a thousand times
Coffee in your hand
Now every time I look for you
You're not there, you're not there

It's been written by the poets, it's in the mouths of kings
You can read it in the stars, they say
Or find it in your dreams
My love is like the ocean, it flows from shore to shore
But nothing lasts forever
No monuments endure
