never goes away

I miss you like hot rain Like red dirt Like a river I miss you like sweet tea Like sunshine on my shoulders Like tangerine You've left me with a gift Or a curse some would say It sticks to me like honey And it's always changing shape Sometimes it is a sickness That covers everything There are days where I don't see it But it never goes away It never goes away It never goes away It never goes away I may never know the reason There is no way around the changing of the seasons All December sinking at your ankles Summertime and you're a stranger But you're still in every room No getting rid of you I've known it from the moment that you Left me with a gift Or a curse some would say It sticks to me like honey And it's always changing shape Sometimes it is a sickness That covers everything There are days where I don't see it But it never, it never goes away It never goes away The sky, the sand The hotel lobby On my skin and in my body Dry cough, candy, cinnamon Hell and back just to forget Your laugh, your touch Your skin, your body Sand and sky The hotel lobby Day by day it turns to gray but It never goes away Mm, mm It never goes away It never goes
