lyrics

Absence makes the heart grow weak
Absence is unkind
It settles in this hurried heart
It occupies my mind

It holds my family hostage
It weakens all I hold
Absence is my brother
Absence is quite old

I can only hear you callin when you know my name
I can’t hold your little finger when I am to blame

Absence is like iodine
It stings the wound it heals
It focuses my mind
What it won’t conceal

I wonder why it feels so tight
I wonder why it lurks
I can’t believe it works this way
I know it cause it hurts
I know it cause it hurts

I can only hear you callin when you know my name
I can’t hold your little finger when I am to blame

Absence is so delicate
It’s sensitive and fair
It settles in my wakin mind
Like gossimer on air

It comes on me like poetry
It settles in like prose
I can’t believe it works this way
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

I can only hear you callin when you know my name
I can’t hold your little finger when I am to blame

I can’t believe it works this way
I know it cause it hurts
I know it cause it hurts
I know it... cause it hurts

about

Stephen Scholle Hartsdale, New York

Picked up guitar in 1967. Began writing songs in 09 after a breakup. TY to Fred Gillen, Burr Johnson, Peter Calo and the Ashokan music community for supporting my passion. I write from the chord voicings and I write from the voice inside. Some songs channel moments. Sometimes words just sound good. I like to let the song speak and I like to work with others on that. If you'd like, get in touch. ... more
