Six months
Don't seem like a long time travelling the world
And six months
Don't seem like a long time as the seasons turn
But six months
Seems like a lifetime waiting for your atue

Counting down the days
Soldier

Waiting
But times moving slower then a rainy day
Waiting
To wake in the morning just to hear them say
That maybe
The fighting is over and you won't be far away

Counting down the days
Soldier

Counting on love strong and true
Counting on faith to carry through
Counting on all the other men just like you
Counting on this world to just commend
Counting on this wasted war to end
Counting on the holding you and the loving you I get

And I'm counting down the days
Soldier

Loving
Comes very easily when you take a sacred vowel
Loving
Been hating the reason why and when and how
Cos' all I want is to have you flying home to me right now

Counting down the days
Soldier

Counting on love strong and true
Counting on faith to carry through
Counting on all the other men just like you
Counting on this world to just commend
Counting on this wasted war to end
Counting on the holding you and the loving you I get

And I'm counting down the days
Soldier

Counting on love strong and true
Counting on faith to carry through
Counting on all the other men just like you
Counting on this world to just commend
Counting on this wasted war to end
Counting on the holding you and the loving you I get

And I'm counting down the days
Soldier

Six months
Seems like a lifetime waiting for your return

Counting down the days
Soldier
Counting down the days
Soldier
