[Verse 1] I check my phone for your name at night, A few stolen moments in the dim porch light. You’re calling from a world so far away, But your voice comes back to make my day. [Verse 2] Mama don't trust the fight in your stare, Daddy says I’m chasing hearts that aren’t there. So I keep you tucked in whispers and dreams, A love they don't know, caught in the seams. [Chorus] I wear this yellow ribbon, tied in my hair, A quiet promise, a silent prayer. For the dusty roads that you've walked through, My heart’s stationed here, waiting for you. [Verse 3] The moon's my witness as I whisper low, Afraid to wake the house, afraid they’ll know. Your words, like armor, hold strong and true, Hours feel like seconds, just hearing you. [Bridge] Across the miles, I hold on tight, Though battles rage, you keep up the fight A future with you is a picture so serene Until then I'll wait for my U.S. Marine [Chorus] I wear this yellow ribbon, tied in my hair, A quiet promise, a silent prayer. For the dusty roads that you've walked through, My heart’s stationed here, waiting for you.
