The Missing
He said goodbye one night at a dress rehearsal fight
Just about alive and quivering like loneliness was in his eyes
He hid amongst the crowd like an abandoned ship going by
A diminished flag and cautious inside
Like an enemy was at his side
Watch the rain fall into water
Wait for the wind to pull you in
Whisper the words of your ex-lover
Walk out in the open ring
He looked to the sky most nights when he walked Riverside Drive
Searching for religion yet tossing it aside
Like a ring that carries lies
He crossed a line sometimes like a gambler going in all night
Just an empty motel trying each lock but can't find no way out
Grab yourself something to take
Don't go breaking ties with the rest
The gates will all part now
Making excuses, taking the bruises, saying
She'll always be the missing part of the piece
Say goodbye tonight, turn around
Lay the flowers down, bury your pride
You know you've got to be better than anything you've left behind
All this time, all this time baby
You were testing my love, trying your luck
Grab yourself something to take
Don't go breaking ties with the rest
The gates will all part now
Making excuses, taking the bruises, saying
She'll always be the missing part of the piece
Just about alive and quivering like loneliness was in his eyes
He hid amongst the crowd like an abandoned ship going by
A diminished flag and cautious inside
Like an enemy was at his side
Watch the rain fall into water
Wait for the wind to pull you in
Whisper the words of your ex-lover
Walk out in the open ring
He looked to the sky most nights when he walked Riverside Drive
Searching for religion yet tossing it aside
Like a ring that carries lies
He crossed a line sometimes like a gambler going in all night
Just an empty motel trying each lock but can't find no way out
Grab yourself something to take
Don't go breaking ties with the rest
The gates will all part now
Making excuses, taking the bruises, saying
She'll always be the missing part of the piece
Say goodbye tonight, turn around
Lay the flowers down, bury your pride
You know you've got to be better than anything you've left behind
All this time, all this time baby
You were testing my love, trying your luck
Grab yourself something to take
Don't go breaking ties with the rest
The gates will all part now
Making excuses, taking the bruises, saying
She'll always be the missing part of the piece
