lirik lagu strawbs - absent friend
my ashtray’s flowing over,
and the ‘phone’s left off the hook.
i’ve been staring for three hours
at the first page of a book.
day and night i keep the curtains drawn,
and curse the very day that i was born,
and get to thinking,
how i need you,
now.
i keep staring at my wristw-tch,
until it’s ticking fills the room,
and the hollow sound reminds me
of the silence of a tomb,
and as the ceiling and the walls close in,
and the furniture begins to spin,
i get to thinking,
how i need you,
now.
and as the days go p-ssing by,
and i never get a letter,
how i need you.
days turn into weeks,
and it doesn’t get much better,
how i need you.
the gaslit streets lean slowly
as i reel against the wall,
and my musty head is aching
as i stagger down the hall;
then i fill the broken gl-ss once more,
and fling the empty bottle to the floor,
and get to thinking,
how i need you …
