Another Country

Every day i’m awake, i’ve been thinking about you
And i can’t get you off of my mind
You’re the girl of my dreams, the mother of my children
I’m as proud as any man can be tonight
As the wind blows heavy down the mountain side
And the darkness of night closes in
As i lie in my bed, I can hear your heart pounding
Far away in another country, far away in another country
And i dream of the day, we’ll be packing up and leaving
This God forsaken corner of the world
All the boys getting taller, is your tummy getting broader
Do we know if its a boy or it’s a girl
And I reach out to touch you, in the middle of the night
And I swear you’re lying next to me
But you’re not, I awake with my poor heart aching
Far away in another country, far away in another country
One of these bright sunny days
I’ll be coming down that road again
My journey, had an end
God bless you until then
How I miss, how I miss, the colour of the springtime
And the moonlight shining through your hair
Say hello to my friends, and all of our kindreds
Tell them I, will soon will be there
There’s a tear in my eye, as i try to sleep
All the boys still calling out my name
Tell them daddy’s in a fight, between good and evil
Far away in another country, far away in another country
Far away in another country
