i wish you'd left on a jet plane
you'd be just one flight away
i wish you'd just gone on vacation
cause every summer ends the same
i wish you'd just turned off the cell phone
cause you'd call me back
another day

but you're gone
you're gone

and in the end
when we meet back again
you'll smile the tears away
when we've won
good and faithfully done
there'll be a million years to stay

i wish i'd done so much more talkin'
cause grass and stone ain't much for ears
i wish i could fill the time for thinkin'
cause seconds fly as fast as years
of blinding so much of my time cryin'
and somehow you've yet to shed a tear

cause you're gone
you've gone home

and in the end
when we meet back again
you'll smile the tears away
when we've won
good and faithfully done
there'll be a million years to stay
