“Im sitting on the porch Wind blowing through my hair The ducks are frolicking in the pond But I just cant seem to care Life goes on around me I dont participate I go through all the motions But what I really do is wait I dream about the day That youll come home to me Nothing else is important Why cant people see? I dont want to go out I dont want to have fun I dont want to do a thing Until all is said & done They took you in the summer Now fall is almost finished Winter will be here very soon And then the year will have diminished You have no idea how much I cry I never let you know Its so hard out here without you But Im not allowed to let it show I must pretend all is fine Everyone thinks alls okay But what I never ever tell them Is that I cry for you every day”
