Counting The Days

(album: Empty Rooms - 1970)

To you one month there isn' a long time
If you can tell
And do whatever you're doing

When I'm six thousand miles from a woman
And I'm going crazy, counting the days
Every week seems like a year

Night brings words housed to get through
Reminding me of the way
She falls asleep in my arms

Don't drive to sleep like I used to
Alive rave now, counting the days
I'm dreaming of my love

Wake up another day just hit me
I was dreaming I'd been sleeping with my love
Get up, did she send me a letter?
Why am I always counting the days
When there's nothing I can do

Time goes too quickly when I'm with her
But when we're parted I feel we're standing still
Time keeps me feeling like a prisoner
It doesn't feel right, counting the days
When I should be with my love

I got one conservation
Sometime tells me her
My time alone

I know she misses me as badly
And I know she's counting the days
Feeling like I do
