Not very well hidden 12th Track on The Sun is Often Out. We a b-side on a single as well (but that was a different version to this – less gentle).
Great song about being in a relationship you know is going to end.
[Verse 1]
Good to watch you sleep at night
Hushing all your life
Nice to have you near to me
Good to feel your sighs
But one of these days
You're sure to be gone
And I'll have to carry on
Without you
[Verse 2]
It's nice to watch you sleep so deep
Damp and gentle there
And I'd almost call you baby now
Lick and smell your hair
But how can I trust
You're really in love
And I'll have to carry on
Without you
[Verse 3]
So shut off your mind and sleep, my love
Drifting less and dream
Tomorrow is too near, my dove
Tell me where you've been
'Cause one of these days
You're sure to be gone
And I'll have to carry on
Without you
[Outro]
Without you
