about

“I wrote this over 30 years ago, when I was working on sailing yacht Apogee, but without my mate after our son was born.”

lyrics

Life is tangential, life is tragic, existential and magic
Life is such a sweet misery, sweet misery
Life is just a sweet misery, yeah, I’m not with you.

Another minute, another hour, without you I suffer
Another day, another dollar, what does that matter.
Life is such a sweet misery, sweet misery
Life is just a sweet misery, yeah, when I’m not with you.

But I can still think of you
And I do, I do, I do.

Too many nights alone
I call you on the phone
But it ain’t the same as being there
Lyin’ next to you.

When I go out there, out on charter, it increases my desire
I need your love, and your ardor, it gets harder and harder.

Life is such a sweet misery, yeah, sweet misery
Life is just a sweet misery, yeah, I’m not with you.

But I can still think of you
And I do, and I do, and I do, I do.
