verse 1
Everyday I?m awake,
I?ve been thinking about you
And I can?t get you over my mind
You?re the girl of my dreams,
The mother of my children
I?m as proud as any man can be alive
Pre-Chorus
As the wind blows heavy down the mountain side
And the darkness of night closes in
Chorus
As I lie in my bed
I can hear your heart pounding
far away in another country
far away in another country
verse 2
And I dream of the day
We?ll be packin' up and leaving
This God-forsaken corner of the world
Are the boys getting taller?
Is your tummy getting broader?
Do we know if it?s a boy or it?s a girl?
Pre-Chorus
And I reach out to touch you in the middle of the night
And I swear you are lying next to me
Chorus
But you?re not, I?m awake
With my poor heart aching
Far away in another country
Far away in another country
BRIDGE
One of these bright, sunny days
I?ll be coming down that road again
My journey at an end
God bless you until then
Instrumental
verse 3
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 them I will soon be there
Pre-Chorus
There?s a tear in my eye as I try to sleep
Are the boys still calling out my name
Chorus
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"
