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
