Distant Shorescountry as flag
Distant shores hold my love in their hands
His fate, only god's knowledge
My heart, a sanctuary for my tears
That I shed in silence
Happiness peaks through with deception in my smile
While distant shores keep my love at bay
Prayers get me through the night
As I look at the calendar and check off another day
Peacefully dreaming of love on a distant shore
Only to awaken to find his side of the bed still neatly made
Starting my day repetitively
With the same fake happiness
That the day before I portrayed

A sadness only but a few can sympathize
Only one who loves a soldier
Can understand the sorrow in my eyes
My worries, my love, my distance, my fears
Only one who loves a soldier can relate to my tears
My honor, my freedom, my gratitude,
The pride I have for my soldier
I will feel forever more
Only one who loves a soldier
Can understand the feeling
Of love on a distant shore
