Songtexte Absent Friend (How I Need You) - Strawbs
My
ashtray's
flowing
over,
And
the
'phone's
left
off
the
hook.
I've
been
staring
for
three
hours
At
the
first
page
of
a
book.
Day
and
night
I
keep
the
curtains
drawn,
And
curse
the
very
day
that
I
was
born,
And
get
to
thinking,
How
I
need
you,
I
keep
staring
at
my
wristwatch,
Until
it's
ticking
fills
the
room,
And
the
hollow
sound
reminds
me
Of
the
silence
of
a
tomb,
And
as
the
ceiling
and
the
walls
close
in,
And
the
furniture
begins
to
spin,
How
I
need
you,
And
as
the
days
go
passing
by,
How
I
need
you.
Days
turn
into
weeks,
And
it
doesn't
get
much
better,
How
I
need
you.
As
I
reel
against
the
wall,
And
my
musty
head
is
aching
As
I
stagger
down
the
hall;
Then
I
fill
the
broken
glass
once
more,
And
fling
the
empty
bottle
to
the
floor,
And
get
to
thinking,
How
I
need
you
...
