Lyrics
So far from home
Expressing being far away from home.
My cry of pain
Describing a cry of pain.
Won't ease my longing heart

I miss you mam
Expressing missing the speaker's mother.
I miss you dad
Expressing missing the speaker's father.
I'm falling apart
Describing a feeling of falling apart emotionally.
Now when I look out my window
Observing the outside world through a window during a winter's evening rain.
Through a winter's evening rain
Highlighting a sense of melancholy and isolation.
I see the same sky
Noting a similarity in the sky, yet emphasizing the emotional difference.
You see at home
Comparing the view to that at home, suggesting a longing for familiarity.
Somehow it's not the same
Expressing that despite the similarities, things don't feel the same.
I'm longing to get home
Expressing a strong desire to return home.
How I miss all you loving smiles
Expressing a yearning for the warmth of familiar and loving smiles.
Oh how the winter bites
Describing the harshness of winter, metaphorically representing the challenges of being far away.
When you're so far away
Highlighting the difficulty of being separated for an extended period.
for so long
Expressing the duration of being far away.
For far too long
Emphasizing that it has been too long.
Is my girl still there
Questioning the status of the speaker's romantic relationship.
Does she visit you
Asking if the girl in question still remembers or visits the speaker's family.
Is she still as pretty as ever
Expressing hope that the girl remains as beautiful as ever.
Does she ask for me..
Questioning whether the girl asks about the speaker in the speaker's absence.
'Cos I long for her
Expressing a strong desire for the girl.
I need her more than ever
Stating an intensified need for the girl during the separation.
Tell her it won't be long
Sending a message to the girl, assuring a swift return.
Until I'm home to stay
Expressing anticipation of returning home soon.
I won't ever go again
Committing to staying by the girl's side upon return.
By her side I'll always stay
Declaring a firm commitment to remain with the girl.
I'm longing to get...
Reiteration of the strong desire to return home.
