Oceans Between Us (For the Troops) (w/Greg Young)

Lyrics

OCEANS BETWEEN US by Greg Young Days are getting easier. There's so much to do. Can't spend all my time just missing you. I wash the clothes. I mow the lawn, try to forget you're really gone, but late at night when I can't sleep i think of you. I think of you. There are oceans between us keeping us apart. I feel the distance deep in my heart. You're in the sunlight. I should be asleep. There are oceans between us. Deep calls unto deep. I know it's not easy being over there-- angry people killing people everywhere. I watch the news. I see the pain. I hear the anchor man explain and late at night when I can't sleep I pray for you. I pray for you. chorus When you're a soldier, you do what you have to do. And though the bombs are miles away, I've got my battle too. chorus, tag, end
