She sits alone at the window 

Trying not to visualize 

Him coming back up that driveway 

As the memory slowly dies 



This is only the start, she knows 

Just the first long, cold day 

Followed by nights that never will end 

When she sits up and calls out his name 



CHORUS: 

So many tears yet to be cried 

So much patience yet to be tried 

So many nights yet to be left alone 

And too early yet to wish him back home 



Instrumental 



Bridge: 

How could he leave her in this state of mind 

And how could she ever have been so blind 

How can she make up for all she now lacks 

And tell the kids daddy's not coming back 



CHORUS
