Every day I'm away, I've been thinking about you
And I can't get you off of my mind
You're the girl of my dreams, the mother of my children
I'm as proud as any man can be tonight

As the wind blows heavy down the mountainside
And the darkness of night closes in
As I lie in my bed, I can feel your heart pounding
Far away, in another country
Far away, in another country

And I dream of the day we'll be packing up and leaving
This God-forsaken corner of the world
Ah, the boy's getting taller, is your tummy getting broader?
Do we know if it's a boy or it's a girl?

And I reach out to touch you in the middle of the night
And I swear you are lying next to me
But you're not, I'm awake, with my poor heart aching
Far away, in another country
Far away, in another country

One of these bright sunny days
I'll be coming down that road again
My journey at an end
God bless you until then

How I miss, how I miss the color of the springtime
And the moonlight shining through your hair
Say hello to my friends, and all of our kindred
Tell 'em I will soon be there

There's a tear in my eye as I try to sleep
Are the boys still calling out my name?
Tell 'em daddy's in a fight between good and evil
Far away, in another country
Far away, in another country
Far away, in another country
