In the Absence of Good Things

What can make a heart grow fonder

When the distance makes young ones go wandering?

You came and you went but I was just wondering

What could come to those who wait

But those who wait just wait here for something worth waiting for

I went and I let you carry the weight too long

I went and I let you carry the weight too long

I went and I let you carry it all

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

But I just can't help listening out for it

What can I say to change your mind

When it just seems like it's refusing to listen in?

You came and you went but I was just listening

To sounds of time gone by

But never understanding what matters now

'Cause they are mine

I went and I left you here with the neverminds

I went and I left you here with the neverminds

I went and I left you here with it

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

But I just can't help listening out for it

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

But I just can't help listening out for it

(I just can't help)

I just can't help listening out for it

Is this just a "you know, you know, you know, you know"

Situation that's coming around again and so we go?

But it won't help me to think about taking your call

When I went and I let you carry it all

I went and I let you carry it all

I went and I let you carry it all

I went and I let you carry it all

I went and I let you carry it all

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

(I went and I let you carry it all)

It does me no good now to hear your sensitive lines

(I went and I let you carry it all)

But I can't help it
