Big Country - Thousand Yard Stare

you should have called me brother
You should have been real close
But you knew i loved you brother
Enough to take over your post.

I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
When i step on the runway i always will see
The boy with the tousand yard stare. But you were asleep my brother
i didn't mean you no harm
You where asleep when they came through the wire
And i couldn't reach the alarm.

You 'll never leave me brother
Though i watched them fly you back home
For i'm still in country brother
I won't make the world on my own
