Absence (What We’ve Got)

Lyrics

[Intro] Absence makes the heart grow fonder [Verse 1] You wait In the shade On a balcony You drink Spring water And think of me But the water turns to wine Just like in the Bible It happens all the time [Pre-Chorus 1] And the wine turns into whiskey And the whiskey turns to tears It's been this way for years [Chorus] But somehow what we've got never breaks down Never breaks down Oh, somehow what we've got never breaks down [Verse 2] I sleep In the motel While the nightclubs burn I dream About high school But I never learn Where there's music there is smoke And a lonely trail of wreckage And a complicated joke [Pre-Chorus 2] But the laughter turns to whiskey Which brings me back to you This is what we do [Chorus] Oh, but somehow what we've got never breaks down Never breaks down Oh, somehow what we've got never breaks down [Bridge] Absence makes the heart grow fonder Absence makes the heart grow fonder That's why I wander [Chorus] Oh, but somehow what we've got never breaks down Never breaks down Somehow what we've got never breaks down Somehow what we've got never breaks down Never breaks down Oh, somehow what we've got never breaks down
