While He’s Away

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Some say love is something only two can share
While others share their love without a care
I don’t know why, she said walk me home
Maybe she’s not one to be alone
When her lover’s not home

She’s in love with someone else
then why is she with me
Heart and lips in different places
so it seems to me
Like a mouse who’s out to play
when the cat’s away
Jumping into bed that night, to wile the blues away
while he’s away

Could it be we’re both in love with someone else
And maybe that’s the way the story goes
But now I know, why I walked her home
I know I can’t stand to be alone
now my lover has gone

She’s in love…
