I Guess I'm Wasting My Time

So far away
I write home each day
Spending my time
To plan out each line
I'll keep on praying
That you won't be straying

Sim months aboard
Been gone from your door
I'll miss you bad
You're the one thing I've had
To call my own
If only you'd telephone

I guess I'm wasting my time
I lost more that I bargained for
I know now you've made up your mind
Still, I will wait by your door

I'm a skiff, thanks to you
With the things that we've done
They brought me happiness
And girl we had fun
I can remember
My life was content
All that I said to you
My dearest, I meant

The days go so slow
The truth I must know
I'm through with lies
But to your surprise
I'll stick like glue
Believe me, it's true

I guess I'm wasting my time
I lost more that I bargained for
I know now you've made up your mind
