She cries a lot
when she's alone,
Mostly late at night at home.
While she listens for the door,
Telling her he's home once more.
She watches late shows on
TV
Wondering where he could be
Yet it's never in her mind
He won't be coming back this time
His plane went down in 64
Too many miles from friendly shores
The telegram said
M .I .A.
She thinks he's alive today
She takes his picture from its place
And holds it close against her face
It's faded now from all her tears
She's been doing that
for years
She sets her table every night
A place for two with candlelight
She's been waitin' far so long
She still thinks he's comin' home
His plane went down in sixty -four
Too many miles from friendly shores
The telegram said
M .I .A.
She thinks he's alive today
She takes his picture from his place
And holds it close against her face
It's faded now from all her tears
She's been doing that for years
His plane went down in 64
Too many miles from friendly shores
The telegram said
M .I .A.
She thinks he's alive today
you
