Put your clock back for the winter
she asks when i'll be home again?
if i could see those eyes
i know they'd cut me down to size
you're not here, when i need you
So sit and wait
and bend and break
you rise and fall
just you, that's all
i'm here, you're there
it don't mean i don't care
i'm so sorry i was miles away
it's been a day of tiny triumphs
it's been a week spent in despair
you can't send it down a phone line
i do my best, but i'm not there
So sleep and wake
and dream up your fate
and rise and fall
watch you grow tall
i'm here your there
but you should know i still love you
when i am miles away
I'll be home again
