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
