Thousand Yard Stare Lyrics - Peace In Our Time - 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
