You give yourself to strangers
There's little left for those you love
Postcards express from every corner of the world
They just don't express enough

You lose yourself to players
You stake your sanity for fun
But years from now when [bad word] and find you to collect
You'll be lonely on [bad word] 
There'll be no scene at the airport
No-one begging you to stay
And all the people you care for
You will have pushed them all away
So before you leave tonight I need to say

That I love you more than words could ever say
I miss you every minute of the day
When you're away

I spend my hours waiting
There's little else for me to do
Someday a lonely soul will stop outside my window
And who knows it might be you

There'll be no scene at the airport
No-one praying you won't go
And all the people we care for
Move on if we don't let them know
So I have to tell you now before you go

That I love you more than words could ever say
And I miss you every minute of the day

When you're away
When you're away
You're so far away
So far away

I love you more than words could ever say
I miss you every second of the day
When you're away...
