I like your absence Lyrics

Julian Dawson - I like your absence



I like your absence better than your presents

with you it's Christmas every day

I like news better that comes by the letter

I promise if you leave I'll write you every day



'cause absence makes the heart grow fonder

I like you best when you're not there

whenever we're together it's stormy weather

whenever we're apart it seems it's always fair



I like your absence better than your presence

and your apartment is an ideal home

we have sound - we have vision

but most important there's a telephone



'cause absence ...



I like your absence better than your presence

but your devotion doesn't buy my time

and if I'm gonna spend my life in prison

I think it's only fair that I should know my crime



'cause you're my judge and you're my jury

just one sentence I land in jail

but I've got a file right here in this cake

I'm busting out of here and I'm jumping bail

jumping bail

jumping bail



I like your absence better than your presents

with you it's Christmas every day

I like news better that comes by the letter

I promise if you leave I'll write you every day
