Thousand Yard Stare - Big Country

I should have called you brother

I should have been real close

You know 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 thousand yard stare

But you where 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

I’m still in country brother

I won’t make the world on my own

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 thousand yard stare
