It’s been a long time, now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side we'll forget the tears we cried But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay Wait till I come back to your side we'll forget the tears we cried I feel as though you ought to know that I've been good, as good as I can be And if you do, I'll trust in you and know that you will wait for me It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone I feel as though you ought to know that I've been good, as good as I can be And if you do, I'll trust in you and know that you will wait for me It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone Wait till I come back to your side we'll forget the tears we cried It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone
