So far away I write home each day Spending my time To plan out each line I'll keep on prayin' That you won't be strayin' Sim months aboard Been gone from your door I'll miss you bad You're the one thing I've had To call my own If only you'd telephone I guess I'm wasting my time I lost more that I bargained for I know now you've made up your mind Still, I will wait by your door I'm a skiff, thanks to you With the things that we've done They brought me happiness And girl we had fun I can remember My life was content All that I said to you My dearest, I meant The days go so slow The truth I must know I'm through with lies But to your surprise I'll stick like glue Believe me, it's true I guess I'm wasting my time I lost more that I bargained for I know now you've made up your mind
