"The Absence Of You" lyrics

It wasn't the morning that made me cry
It wasn't the dark blue endless night
It was the lack in presence of some kind
Gentle, divine love that made me want to die

It was the absence of you in my life
It was the void you left sleeping in the night
Oh and it woke in me like some beast to fight
I shattered, I quaked, I broke from inside
And I swear I saw angels with rope pulling me to the light
Back to the absence of you

And was it God or the music that moved in me between the silence
While I was laying, gently weeping, dying in the quiet?
Speak up, my innocence. Did it insist that I come with it
And follow that road to the other side?
Back to the absence of you in my life

Back to the void you left sleeping in the night
And it broke in me like some sacred code
Doves in flight, making their way home
And I thought, I too could enjoy the glow
Back in the absence of you

Oh, my hollowness
This solitude
Oh, my emptiness
In the absence of you, of you
