You're not there

I wake up in the morning
As the sun begins to rise
And though the birds are singing
My heart can tell no lies - You're not there.

I walk the dog along the path
And wonder at the sight
But no matter how I try to laugh
In my mind there's still a blight - You're not there.

I navigate along the cut
With baby close at hand
Working up and down the locks
With D'fer jumping boat to land, but - You're not there.

I settle down to rest at night
And cook an evening meal
But somehow it is just not right
Lovers know how I feel - You're not there.
