away from you (its a song to my wife while i was in iraq)

{chourus}  it's been so many days away from you,

i sit thinking i wont make it through the days away from you.

i'm longing for your breath upon my face,

longing to feel your warmth next to me, but here i am away from you.

i'm just playing the game that just needs to be played,

and i'm begging for an end to this nightmarish hell called war,yet here i am away from you.  





i soldier on in your name, with thoughts of you in my heart,

i know that you pray for me as your heart slowly breaks,

know that im here thinking of you as i slowly go along restless and breaking everday.

but my thoughts of you carry me on in a land so far away from you.





{chourus}  it's been so many days away from you,

i sit thinking i wont make it through the days away from you.

i'm longing for your breath upon my face,

longing to feel your warmth next to me, but here i am away from you.

i'm just playing the game that just needs to be played,

and i'm begging for an end to this nightmarish hell called war,but here i sit away from you.





i know you're laying there thinking of the times it was just you and i.

alas i want you to remember i'm always thinking of you,

and know that i'm fighting here to keep you safe and warm at night in our bed.

though i know you wish it was just me and you,

always remember that i am killing here to keep these things away from you laying there.





{chourus}  it's been so many days away from you,

i sit thinking i wont make it through the days away from you.

i'm longing for your breath upon my face,

longing to feel your warmth next to me, but here i am away from you.

i'm just playing the game that just needs to be played,

and i'm begging for an end to this nightmarish hell called war,here i am away from you.





so i lock away my fear for you and throw away all my pain to fight on.

i know you lock up your grief and sorrow, just to hide it from all who might see

so in this remember we are'nt alone. theres more in this then anyone will ever know.

so i find you when i need my humanity in this land so far away from you.





{chourus}  it's been so many days away from you,

i sit thinking i wont make it through the days away from you.

i'm longing for your breath upon my face,

longing to feel your warmth next to me, but here i am away from you.

i'm just playing the game that just needs to be played,

and i'm begging for an end to this nightmarish hell called war,here i am away from you.
