Lay my head on my wristwatch today
I could hear the little hand tick and tock
Don’t know why my heart’s beating anyway
Aren’t we just seconds on the clock?
If I close my tired eyes for a while
I begin to frame your face
Whether I’m near or I’m far a thousand miles
The moon and the stars will be in place
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’m far from home
Oh, and I’m far
Oh, and I’m far from home
And I don’t know where you are
You’ve had your scars and you’ve had your sickness too
You never lose, but you never win
And you know I ain’t gonna stop loving you
I’ll be your honey and medicine
My thoughts get all messed up and jumbled in my head
I’ve got myself a weary soul
I’m sorry I don’t say goodnight before I go to bed
These cold and lonely nights have taken their toll
[Chorus]
Oh, and I’m far from home
Oh, and I’m far
Oh, and I’m far from home
And I don’t know where you are
