I've been gone so long
And what have you done
I've been gone so long
Now I know

Things go away
In a way I cannot stop
Don't sound the same
Altho, I wish they still were

What if I go home
Would you let me in?
Would you leave me or leave an open door?
(and) what if I don't go
How long would you wait for me
How long?

I've been around
I've watched you
I saw your tears
I cried with you
I know your hopes
One thing my dear
I can assure
I'm pretty near

What if I go home
Would you let me in?
Would you leave me or leave an open door?
(and) what if I don't go
How long would you wait for me
How long?

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
(for) how long
