When You're Away

I gaze at the morning
It looks back at me
The wind carries a nearby hymn and I hear it for free
I hear it for free
(Abide with me and da da da da da)

I stand like a mountain
I stand like a tree
I move like a warrior but I get peace for free
I get peace for free

These are things I see when you're not here
This is the air I breathe
When you're away

I empty the whisky
I empty the wine
I watch a beloved film and I get tears for free
I get tears for free

I look at the mirror
Painting what I see
Spots fade and they disappear
And I look more like me
I feel less like me

These are things I do when you're not here
This is the air I breathe
When you're away
