It won't be long til you're back in my arms,
Safety blanket wrapped around me again,
For lately more apart than together,
Are things going to stay this way forever,
Watch the door waiting for you to come in,
Hours go by nothing is as it seems,
For you're still not here i am alone,
Day after day,
Night after night,
Close my eyes your all i see,
Here i wait so patiently,
Counting down minutes and hours,
Without you hardly have the strength to move,
So much to be done yet nothing i can do,
For while I'm without you,
I fear i waste away,
Wonder if by the time you return I'll be gone,
No longer to exist,
Never thought love could be so tough,
Or been through times so rough,
Watch the clouds turn to sun then back to grey,
Day becomes night goes back to day,
As i continue to fade away,
Finally you come it's all too late,
For this girl has passed her use by date.
