When I'm alone and feeling down
While I'm away from you
That's the reason I sing my song
To keep my thoughts of you

Away, away from you
For lonely nights and days
My spirit's gone I can't go on
My life within of hers

Will you be there when I return?
Will you still be mine, I'm never sure
Until I'm home all I can do is pass my time

I can hear the drums a-pounding
And the voice that sings so loud
Where I am I do not know
I feel like I'm lost in a crowd

Away, away from you
For lonely nights and days
My spirit's gone I can't go on
My life within of hers

Away, away from you
For lonely nights and days
My spirit's gone I can't go on
My life within of hers
Will you be there when I return?
Will you still be mine, I'm never sure
Until I'm home all I can do is pass my time

Thoughts of you
Thoughts of you
