Lyrics
THE SCHEME OF THINGS
VERSE 1
So you got your orders
It?s time to go
And I don?t know what to do, what to say
As I watch you fly away
I only know I?ll be here, when you get home.
PRE-CHORUS
Sacrifice, or they tell me it?s a part of life
I realize its compromise and I?ll bring you home in time.
CHORUS
OH! In the scheme of things
Six months is nothing, just a drop in a bucket
It?s nothing, so I?ll wait for you here
OH! In the scheme of things
Six months is nothing, compared to the end of the world, it?s no big deal.
Please come home.
VERSE 2
You finally called today
Only to say they?ve extended your stay
God only knows when you?ll be home
Not for Christmas, not even for your own child?s birthday.
PRE-CHORUS
I can?t lie, this is tearing me up inside.
I?m aching to have my man home by my side.
CHORUS
OH! In the scheme of things
Six months is nothing, just a drop in a bucket
It?s nothing, so I?ll wait for you here
OH! In the scheme of things
Six months is nothing, compared to the end of the world, it?s no big deal.
CHORUS
