If Missing You Was Art

I heard the clock tick slow and loud Each second heavier than a cloud I trace your name in midnight air But when I reach, there's nothing there A ghost of joy, a faint recall I crave the air, it glides too far If missing you was art, I'd paint the world gray If longing was a road, I'd walk it every day But here I stand I breathe the dust of yesterday Where all our colors turned to gray A ghost of joy, a faint recall I crave the air, it glides too far If missing you was art, I'd paint the world gray If longing was a road, I'd walk it every day But here I stand If missing you was art, I'd paint the world gray If longing was a road, I'd walk it every day But here I stand And you're away Just silence left where voice should stay
