Another of those songs that doesn't fit neatly in any of the IAC categories. It might need a big band. This is just the rough version. Tom O'Brien made this.

I was thinking about the times in my life when I have been so "in want" with somebody, and the feeling after he relationship is over. I imagined sitting at a bar thinking about how it used to be.

All the colored leaves are falling And it isn't even fall Winter cold to me is calling And someone yells, "Last call!" I've got a lump in my throat So I can't order another round Get my umbrella and coat Better yet, get me a boat So I don't drown Summer days go fast And the autumn's here at last And so I raise this glass For the want of you Desperate lovers - how we once were We used to cling so tight Till I thought I knew all answers We couldn't wait for night There, in the back of the car We had to limit how far we'd go Is that a planet or star Do you think we'll get that far? Cuz I don't know Winter days are long And so I must be strong But, still I sing this song For the want of you For the want of you I can't sleep For the want of you I can't dream For, the dreams of you that I keep Are only fantasies, so it seems x
