without you

John Mayer

I count the minutes on the clock,
I count the days as they roll by..
not here to listen when I talk,
not here to hold me when i cry.
& as the weeks pass on,
you're still gone
I will wish that you were here
now I will close my eyes
ask myself why?
why did you disappear?!

Summer seasons come and gone
and now the leaves fall from the trees
and like the branches my heart barrens
your voice echoes in the breeze
so winter's yet to come
my hopes are numb
----
and as winter nears
only to feed my fears
it feels colder than before..


Where are you now?
where have you gone?
are you ever coming back?
is this your way of moving on?
look into my eyes
you will find what you're searching for
you will raise again in me, she said
of the fire that burns forever more

I search under the stars
for the burning light that sparked your love for me
sky's as empty as this street
unanswered prayer, another solitic need?


Where are you now?
where have you gone?
are you ever coming back?
is this your way of moving on?
was it something i said?
was it something i didn't say?
do the words i left unspoken
still keep you away? ..

Where are you now?
where have you goone?..
