COUNTING SHIPS

 

COUNTING SHIPS

WRITTEN BY

I'VE GOT A HEARTACHE

IT JUST WON'T SUBSIDE

I CAN'T CARRY ON

JUST PUSH IT ASIDE

COUNTING SHIPS AND DAYS

GETTING BY

ON A WING AND A PRAYER

WAKING UP

AND YOU'RE NOT THERE

 

SWEET SUMMER MORNING

OUT IN THE SUN

I CLOSE MY EYES 

I SEE YOU STANDING THERE

ITS WISHFUL THINKING

BUT I DON'T CARE

NO MATTER HOW

YOU APPEAR

I FEEL I'VE WON

 DAY DREAMING

OUT HERE IN THE SUN

I'M NOT LEAVING

UNTIL I'M DONE

 

SITTING HERE IN SILENCE

A PARADISE SURROUNDS ME

WAY TOO MUCH TIME TO THINK

THERE GOES MY HEART

IT BEGINS TO SINK

KNOWING THAT

 YOU'RE NOT HERE 

TIRED OF WALKING ALONE

MY ONLY LINK TO YOU

IS ON THE PHONE


HANGING ON

AN AFTERNOON

BENEATH A CLOUDLESS SKY

IF THERE WERE NO REASON

I WOULD TURN AND FLY AWAY

TOMORROW MIGHT NOT

RECOGNIZE ME 

TIME MAKES A DIFFERENCE 

TO WHO I AM

TO WHERE I'VE BEEN

AND WHERE I'M GOING TO

FEELS LIKE I LEFT YOU BEHIND

I MISS YOU

COUNTING SHIPS AND DAYS

I MISS YOU

A THOUSAND WAYS
