Away From You - Eleanor McEvoy

One more badly printed boarding pass

For a window or an aisle

One more airline magazine about the duty free

One more way to kill another mile

It takes forever going anywhere

It takes it out of me sometimes

Takes the daily drudge of boats 'n' planes 'n' cars 'n' trains

Just to try to take you off my mind

Time without you is a waste of time

Poetry that’s lost its rhyme

Music with a melody

No one wants to hear

Nights without you hurt the most

Haunted by a hollow ghost

Lingering around me most

Whenever I’m away from you

Whenever I’m away from you

One more 'get in' through an alleyway

One more interview to do

One more number on the door that is my home tonight

One more box of soap and bottle of shampoo

Time without you is a waste of time

Poetry that’s lost its rhyme

Music with a melody

No one wants to hear

Nights without you hurt the most

Haunted by a hollow ghost

Lingering around me most

Whenever I’m away from you

Whenever I’m away from you

And I keep thinking, every day away is one day closer home

And every night apart is one night less alone

One more less to go

Time without you is a waste of time

Poetry that’s lost its rhyme

Music with a melody

No one wants to hear

Nights without you hurt the most

Haunted by a hollow ghost

Lingering around me most

Whenever I’m away from you

Whenever I’m away from you

Time without you is a waste of time

Poetry that’s lost its rhyme

Music with a melody

No one wants to hear

Nights without you hurt the most

Haunted by a hollow ghost

Lingering around me most

Whenever I’m away from you

Whenever I’m away from you

Time without you is a waste of time

Poetry that’s lost its rhyme

Music with a melody

No one wants to hear

Nights without you hurt the most

Haunted by a hollow ghost

Lingering around me most

Whenever I’m away from you

Whenever I’m away from you
