Midnight Express - The Saw Doctors

So far from home

My cry of pain

Won’t ease my longing heart

I miss you mam

I miss you dad

I’m falling apart

Now when I look out my window

Through a winter’s evening rain

I see the same sky

You see at home

Somehow it’s not the same

I’m longing to get home

How I miss all you loving smiles

Oh how the winter bites

When you’re so far away

For so long

For far too long

Is my girl still there

Does she visit you

Is she still as pretty as ever

Does she ask for me.

'Cos I long for her

I need her more than ever

Tell her it won’t be long

Until I’m home to stay

I won’t ever go again

By her side I’ll always stay

I’m longing to get…
