And I Haven't Seen My Love in Quite a While

verse
Yesterday I fell
Seems I′m falling in a new way almost every day
Yeah, even though I go
Even when I leave, my falling seems to follow me
pre-chorus
Lover, can you lift me? Do I have to wait and turn?
Will it take until tomorrow for my memories to burn?
chorus
She said, "Every time I see the fire, I cry
But I haven't seen the fire since last July"
And I said, "Every time I see my love, I smile
And I haven′t seen my love in quite a while"
verse
Pain, it knows no time
But I couldn't find the line without it either way
And you were right to go, don't you think so?
When I wouldn′t trade a good night for a better day
pre-chorus
Love, she gave me needles and a pattern for my heart
But every time I pulled the threads, my memory pulled apart
chorus
She said, "Every time I see the rope, I climb
But I haven′t seen that rope in quite some time"
And I said, "Every time I see my love, I smile
And I haven't seen my love in quite a while"
verse
Just because I′m gone
Don't think that I don′t think about you every day
Yeah, even though you died
You're still singing all your songs about me anyway
pre-chorus
Lover, can you hear me, though I cannot speak aloud?
For though I cannot hold you now, I′ll never put you down
chorus
You say, "Every time I hear your voice, I cry
'Cause I only hear your voice now in my mind"
And I say, "Every time I see my love, I smile
And I haven't seen my love in quite a while"
