Without you the ground thaws,
the rain falls,
the grass grows

Without you the seeds root,
the flowers bloom,
the children play

The stars gleam,
the poets dream,
the eagles fly
without you

The Earth turns,
the sun burns,
but I die
without you

Without you the breeze warms,
the girl smiles,
the cloud moves

Without you the tides change,
the boys run,
the oceans crash

The crowds roar,
the days soar,
the babies cry
without you

The moon glows,
the river flows,
but I die without you

The world revives,
colors renew,
but I know blue,
only blue,
lonely blue
without you

Without you the hand gropes,
the ear hears,
the pulse beats

Without you the eyes gaze,
the legs walk,
the lungs breathe

The mind churns,
the heart yearns,
the tears dry without you

Life goes on,
but I'm gone,
cause I die without you.
