I miss you in the morning when the sky is turning blue

And the sun shines through my window like the way it used to do

I miss you in the morning when I watch the coffee brew

And I think of all the places where we said we'd travel to

When we were young and our dreams came easy

When we were dumb but our love was true

Now I'm numb and the days are bleeding

Into one and my nights are two

And I reach for you but you disappear

Like castles in the sand and I'm here alone with empty hands

I miss you in the evening when I pull the covers down

And the dark crawls through the window and the shadows come around

I miss you in the evening when I watch the fire burn

And I think of all the secrets and the stories left unlearned

When we were young and our dreams came easy

When we were dumb but our love was true

Now I'm numb and the days are bleeding

Into one and my nights are two

And I reach for you but you disappear

Like castles in the sand and I'm here alone with empty hands

With empty hands

And when I'm gone

I won't have to worry if you call

I won't hear you cry if you stall

I won't wait on the jury or the fall

When you say goodbye

I'll just close my eyes and you won't be there

I'll be dreaming of some other land

Where I'm not alone with empty hands

With empty hands

With empty hands
