I've been counting the sleeps Crossing off the days Keeping myself busy In all sorts of ways
And you're out there working And I guess I shouldn't mind But tonight I caught the moon through the slats of the Venetian blind
Why aren't you here On a night like tonight And why aren't you here When the moon is shining so bright
It's a night custom made for two And one of them should be me and the other should be you
I sat out on the porch in my t-shirt and underwear Sat out in the dark so the neighbors wouldn't care And I talked to myself and I cried the night away Friends can hurt you the most I'd say
But what you gonna do When you're down there on the ground I know you would hold me If you were around
And why aren't you here On a night like tonight And why aren't you here When the moon is shining so bright
It's a night custom made for two And one of them should be me and the other should be you
You're halfway around the world in a place called Larochell The whole band sharing one room in some cheap French hotel And you sat sipping cinzano in a little cafe Even though you were broke you still called me anyway
You said "why aren't you here Why aren't you here?"
It's still ten more sleeps 'Til you'll be home again My love's not like that moon It doesn't wax and wane
And anyway that moon Will shine once again Even if it's round and paper And taped to the window pane
Why aren't you here...
