Lyrics

Away from you
There is no music
There is no sunlight
The world is gray
Away from you
The clocks are frozen
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way
The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you
The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you
