Back Home

Turn out the lights, unplug the phone

This is our last night to be alone

Bittersweet, seems unfair

Your country called you and you said that you’d be there

It’s getting cold,

Lay here a while before you go

Words could never take the place

Of seeing your sweet face

And that phone call once a month just ain’t enough

I know you’re out there doing right

so we can sleep in peace tonight,

But I’m counting down the days til you’re back home

It’s been a while, I’m getting by

The days they aren’t so hard but I can’t stand the nights

I’m so afraid, and you’re so far

I won’t rest easy ‘til you’re back here in my arms

It makes me cold

I’m just counting down the days ‘til you’re back home

Is it possible to be two places at one time?

Because my body’s lying here

but I am with you heart and mind

Words could never take the place

Of seeing your sweet face

And that phone call once a month just ain’t enough

I know you’re out there doing right

so we can sleep in peace tonight,

But I’m counting down the days ‘til you’re back home

Back home
