Absence - Sandpeople

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow somber

She tucks the kids in alone again tonight

After another day of down time

The school year makes a lonely house wife

She tries to tell her kids that they’re not second priority

Daddy’s just busy, see him on the weekend hopefully

She needs more of her husband in the equation

Kids raised without proper elements shouldn’t be done

She loved the man she married, with or without the white collar

Money for college and security doesn’t replace a father

Growing up is very pleasant with presents

But a lack of love and attention soon leads to resentment

A seed needs the proper nourishment to grow

When he gets old, no visits to the nursing home

The weekend came and daddy didn’t catch the flight

The root of evil grew to be the biggest factor in life

Comfort from a piece of paper with a dollar sign

The root of evil grew to be the biggest factor in life

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow somber

Worst case I work late, it’s the third shift today

Pay check person payment further investments I make

It’s rare when i’m home, more so when I’m happy

Cologne to mask the smell of sad and guilt on my khakis

Find finance relaxing, ambition built incentive

To fill my life with caffeine, board rooms and taxis

Hotel, continental breakfast and bad sleep

Sad spouse and a well-furnished house on a sad street

But money makes the world rotate, so I get home late

And no amount of peers could make me slow pace

I need to stack our nest egg, our kids deserve the best babe

But little do I know the little ones brew the best hate

So when a workaholic manifest mad strife

The root of evil grew to be the biggest factor in life

And a man can’t depend on his feminine type

The root of evil grew to be the biggest factor in life

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

He works very hard for the dollar

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

She hangs a yellow ribbon raising children with no father

Absence makes the heart grow somber
