Lyrics
When the nighttime calls, and he's out there somewhere.
Those apartment walls seem to stare back her stare.
Turns on the TV show, thinks that should help her through.
But then, on comes his video and then an interview. Right then she knows...
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he's gone away
She knows, she knows, she knows
She hangs with her friends, tries to pass the time.
If this war don't ever end...She tries hard not to cry. 'Cause
She knows, she knows, she knows
That it takes too long
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he's gone away
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he?s far from home
She knows, she knows, she knows
She's not afraid anymore. She won't explain anymore. She knows it's worth waiting for.
When the nighttime calls, and he's out there somewhere.
Those four bedroom walls, they stare back her stare.
She goes insane every time she sees him
She's got his name, she don't need no reason. ' Cause,
She knows, she knows, she knows
That it won't be long
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he's on his way
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he?s comin? home
She knows, she knows, she knows
That it won't be long
She knows, she knows, she knows
That he's on his way
