Counting Down The Days

If I had a young boys eyes would I still feel alone?
 I'd surely be running right now through the straw fields back at home
 If I only knew a love like that - Deeper than blood 'n bone
 Maybe I wouldn't be a dreamer
 Who's been digging my grave since I was born
 Oh Darlin', Wherever you roam
 Know I'm counting down the days
 Til' we meet out in the great unknown
 Oh my darling' I will wait...
 I've heard the grass growing under my feet
 And along these winding roads
 I've learned to sway with the trees and the branches they have grown
 But between the earths embrace and It's fog of war
 One thing's still certain, I haven't found what I'm looking for...
 Oh Darlin', Wherever you roam
 Know I'm counting down the days
 Til' we meet out in the great unknown
 Oh my darling' I will wait...
 Love is not some diamond ring or a flower in your coat
 The way it presents itself is in the holding on and letting go
 Maybe I'm just the king of hearts in a deck depicting hope
 And I'll still wait here, until I'm played dear
 Oh darlin', Wherever you roam
 Know I'm counting down the days
 Til' we meet out in the great unknown
 Oh my darling' I will wait...
