Big Country - 1000 Yard Stare lyrics

You should have called me a brother You should have been real close But you knew I loved you brother Enough to take over your post But you were asleep my brother I didn’t mean you no harm You were asleep when they came through the wire And I couldn’t reach the alarm 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 I wanna tell you brother I didn’t want to be there It was my time for sleeping brother But I went and left you up there 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 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 As I step on the runway I always will see The boy with the thousand yard stare I guess it’s always with me I guess it will always be there As I step on the runway I always will see The boy with the thousand yard stare I guess it’s always with me I guess it will always be there As I step on the runway I always will see The boy with the thousand yard stare
