Living This Way

about

I wrote this song when I was working away so it is a song that is very much a song that is close to my heart. Separation is never easy for lovers, and for me I found it a difficult time. I had to work from home for over two years. I would leave first thing on a Monday and watch the days go by so that come the weekend I hold the woman I love in my arms. I know that I am not alone in having to live this way and at least I could come home on the weekends. I am thankful that I didn’t have to work away for longer periods or that I was in a job where I didn’t know if I would come home at all. It is difficult to work away, but I think that it is sometimes worse waiting and wondering if the person you love will ever return at all..

I wrote this song for all those who sit at home and for those who have to work away.

lyrics

Verse One
When you call I feel mixed emotions,
I hear your voice, but you’re not here to hold.
My bed is cold, my life is empty
and just your voice don't keep me warm

Chorus
Where ever you go my thoughts are with you
Whatever I say I don't mean to say
It’s only because you know I miss you
I’m finding it hard, living this way

Verse Two
I fill my days by keeping busy,
But the nights are filled with tears.
I wait for your calls, they end too quickly
and I'm left alone, do you know how I feel

Chorus
Where ever you go my thoughts are with you
Whatever I say I don't mean to say
It’s only because you know I miss you
I’m finding it hard, living this way

Mid
Sitting here alone, I am tired of this
Wishing just to hold you, feel your kiss
I'm never good alone, I’m hating this
I’m hating this.

Chorus
Where ever you go my thoughts are with you
Whatever I say I don't mean to say
It’s only because you know I miss you
I’m finding it hard, living this way

John Robert Hunter Salisbury, UK

I am an English singer songwriter based in Salisbury. My music doesn’t fit comfortably in any one genre. Songs like “When Death Divides” has a bit of a Pink Floyd feel to it. Where as songs like “We’ll Leave This Town” is a bit Springsteenish. I love songs that comment on life, that are from the heart, that tell a story. ... more
