Lyrics Big Country – 1000 Yard Stare

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

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
