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 you're there But you should know I still love you When I am miles away I'll be home again
