She sits alone at the window Trying not to visualize Him coming back up that driveway As the memory slowly dies This is only the start, she knows Just the first long, cold day Followed by nights that never will end When she sits up and calls out his name CHORUS: So many tears yet to be cried So much patience yet to be tried So many nights yet to be left alone And too early yet to wish him back home Instrumental Bridge: How could he leave her in this state of mind And how could she ever have been so blind How can she make up for all she now lacks And tell the kids daddy's not coming back CHORUS
