Half A World Away

Counting the days ‘til you come home Setting the table just for one I light a candle and I think of you Might light one more Is that my door? No you are half a world away Counting the nights I sleep alone I’m reaching out for your pillow I close my eyes, see a picture of you I see you smiling As if you were here But you are half a world away When I go out on my own Someone will drop me a line All of their words fall on deaf ears For it’s you that’s on my mind And now we are one day closer ‘Til we can kiss once again I keep that place in my heart just for you I’ll take your hand Leave that suitcase You won’t be half a world away
