Sink Love



  Sink Love

   Loving you through a sink is hard to do

  When all I can do is talk to you

  Yeah, the days go on into the night

  As we sit and talk about what is right

  It is hard to make a connection

  without any physical  affection

  You can hear me laugh and cry

  But you can't be there to dry my eyes

  Loving you through a sink is hard to do

  When all I can do is talk to you
