He's Away

You wanna run,
and you wanna hide,
go shed some tears,
and count how many you cried.

wash them down,
with a bottle of beer,
perhaps maybe then,
you'll shed another tear.

go to your room,
and cling to your sheets,
hide from the dreams,
and continue to weep.

call him on the phone,
tell him that you care,
tell him you miss him,
and you wish you were there.

tell him you'll call,
again the next day,
after you hang up,
kneel on your knees and pray.

pray he's alone,
and pray your love is true,
think about him,
and that he thinks about you.

get in your pajamas,
and try to fall asleep,
tell him the next day,
what you saw in your dreams.
