In Country
You've been in country way to long
 I can barely picture your face
 I hope you're still carrying me with you
 Your fragile, glass angel
 Sitting contently in your pocket
 I hope the picture I had drawn
 Isn't to faded and you and I
 Are still dancing in that fantastical ballroom
 Like Beauty and the Beast
 Isn't fate so cruel to leave me here
 To take you there
 I wake up every day still worrying
 Hoping my nightmares are only dreams
 Praying you're still asleep
 I look into the moon and wonder
 If you are looking to a morning sun
 Thinking of me
 As I am thinking of you
 My letters are scattered across my cluttered desk
 Sitting undated, well worn
 For even though they were never sent
 I read them every night
 Wishing they were words I could really say
 You haven't written to me
 And I wonder if its because of the way we left it
 So bittersweet
 With you going off to country
 And me staying to wait
 For a future we won't ever have
 To a fate we have lost
 Just remember I'm still here
 Waiting for you to come home
 Please think of me
 I'll think of you
 While you're
 In country
