You're home again
For one more day
But here I am,
I'm waiting for the off
The day you get the call
The moment you say goodbye
Leave me one last parting gift
Don't know when you'll be here again
Next time could be so different
Want to keep you here,
But right now, it's goodbye
Waiting until next time
To see your smiling eyes
You kiss me goodbye and hold me tight
Tell me everything's alright
I'll try to speak, but the words I need,
I just can't reach
Silent Earth and crying words
You've left again (to the unknown)
While you're gone, I'll get by
Looking at your picture,
I'm smiling inside
I imagine the memories
That each photo holds.
I see the good times
And those we've yet to see
So come home for me
I'll wait for you, keep the light on
But despite the distance,
You know I'm all alright
Underneath it all
All these day without you here
Just know I'll be ok
Because I know, I know
You're always here for me
And I'm always there
Wherever you are.
Was watching Silent Witness on the telly and the storyline seemed focused on the military and at the end of the programme the viewer saw one of the men leaving home again to go back to the military. It made me think about what they were all going through and the programme portrayed the moments very well, was feeling the emotion pouring out of the telly. So I thought it would be good to write something to say what many are probably thinking, that wherever they go, we're always with them and that everything back home is still ok. Hope this comes close.
