Overseas

The days are all busy, the rooms are all crowded
I start to go dizzy, my judgment is clouded
And morning is midday, and midnight is evening
My thoughts wander astray, distance is deceiving
I implore you to please not forget little old me
When you’re overseas and new things are unfolding
Set my heart at ease and repeat what you told me
When I’m overseas and just wish you could hold me
My dear
My family’s full of strangers, my judges and skeptics
Can’t help but sense danger. Why is it so hectic?
Days meant to be lazy are spent with mind racing
My thoughts wander astray, what is it I’m chasing?
I implore you to please not forget little old me
When you’re overseas and new things are unfolding
Set my heart at ease and repeat what you told me
When I’m overseas and just wish you could hold me
My dear
When I come back, you’ll be gone
I know, no need to tell me
It’s written in the words you didn’t write me
When I needed them most
I tell myself it’s just a song
But it’s clear that I cannot quell these thoughts
So bear the bad news quick
I will prepare myself for it as well as I can
I implore you to please not forget little old me
When you’re overseas and new things are unfolding
Set my heart at ease and repeat what you told me
When I’m overseas and just wish you could hold me
My dear
