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
