Big Country - Thousand 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 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 (thousand yard stare) 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 As I step on the runway I always will see The boy with the thousand yard stare (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 (thousand yard stare) The boy with the thousand yard stare The boy with the thousand yard stare
