For Where Have You Been Songtext
von Honeybus

Claire had all but given up when she and Edwin
Fell in love, she touched his face and shook her head
In disbelief, she sighed and said, "In many dreams
I′ve held you near, now at last, you're really here"
Where have you been? I′ve looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been? I'm just not myself when you're away
He asked her for her hand for life, then she became
A salesman′s wife, he was home each night by 8
But one stormy evening he was late, her frightened tears
Fell to the floor until his key turned in the door
Where have you been? I′ve looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been? I'm just not myself when you′re away
They'd never spent a night apart For 60 years she heard him snore
Now, they′re in a hospital
In separate beds on different floors
Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names
Of family, she never spoke a word again
Then one day they wheeled him in, he held her hand
And stroked her hair, in a fragile voice she said
"Where have you been? I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been? I′m just not myself when you're away"
"Where have you been? I've looked for you forever and a day
Where have you been? I′m just not myself when your away
I′m just not myself when your away"
