Lyrics
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 mountainside
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 godforsaken corner of the world
Are the boys getting taller?
Is your tummy getting broader?
Do we know it's 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'm 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 at 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 kindred
Tell 'em I will soon will be there
There's a tear in my eye
As I try to sleep
Are the boys still calling out my name?
Tell em daddy's in a fight
Between good and evil
Far away in another country
Far away in another country
Far away in another country
