Every day 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



As the wind blows heavy down the mountain side

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 God-forsaken corner of the world

All the boys getting taller?

Is your tummy getting broader?

Do we know if it's a boy or it's a girl?



And I reach ouy 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 had 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 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
