Away Too Long

Away Too Long

I’ve been away too long, so long that I met myself coming
I’ve lost all the days, they were gambled away
I’ve been away too long.

I’ve been away too long, this road at my feet looks familiar
My heart heaves a sigh, will hello mean good-bye?
I’ve been away too long

So where can I go now to find, the one I let slip from my mind
A search for you through all my past,
May still leave me lonely at last.

I’ve been away too long, whose face is that in my reflection
The years won’t come back, they were left by the track
I’ve been away too long.

And where have my friends up and gone?
And were you that lover done wrong?
Those babies grown up far away, will they know me now I am gray.

I’ve been away too long, I’ve filled up the bag I’ve been packing.
My journey begins at the place where it ends.
I’ve been away too long.

So tell me you’ll have me once more,
When I am that knock on your door.
I’ll know if I’ve found the right place, as soon as I look at your face.
