Why do you live so far away  When I need you every night and day?  Every second feels like a century  Every clock tick's like a tympanie  I've got no job and no place to go  I'm just waiting for you to show  Why do you live so far away  When I need you more than I can say?  All I could do is look up at the sky  I'll just wait for your plane to fly on by  I've got no friends and no enemies  And there's no one to take care of me  What can I do?  I can't let go of this thought of you  I close my eyes and I wait  Oh I stand by  What can I do?  I can't let go of this thought of you  I close my eyes and I wait  Oh I stand by  Yeah I stand by
