Lyrics Women and Men - Josh Rouse

Women and Men

The current will rise much faster
Makes it harder to find what I’m after…
The water’s up, water’s down and I can’t swim…
When I am lost and you are not, then no one wins…
Our babies have known no father
Makes it harder to call
I don’t bother
So, bottle up, bottle down, is how I live
The money’s gone
Just one more song before I turn in
But you won’t see me
'Cause I won’t be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared
It’s the absence
You’re afraid and the night
It approaches but I’m still a state away
Yeah, it’s the absence;
you’re afraid…
I can’t erase what the past is
It’s time to face circumstances
Sun comes up, sun goes down and I begin
The days grow long as I trek on and I hate knowing…
That you won’t see me
'Cause I won’t be there to
Help you asleep when you get scared…
It’s the absence;
you’re afraid and the night
It approaches, but I’m still a state away…
Yeah, it’s the absence you’re afraid… of the night…
We’re surviving but it’s still from day to day…
It’s nice to come home for a weekend…
The children have grown, how I’ve missed them…
As I pull up, you walk out and we smile again…
The grass needs cut, cuddled up just woman and man…
