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
