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
