Been Away Too Long Songtext
von Uriah Heep

I′m coming home
I've been away far too long
I′m leaving it up to you
To understand

You may wonder why
When it was me who said
The last goodbye
But cannot change my mind
One more time

It's high time
I can't wait any longer
It′s my time to find out
Who I belong to
It′s breaking my heart
Waitin' for another day


When the time comes
You won′t see me around
I've been patient
Standing my ground
Gotta see ya and hold ya
Hear what you have to say

Do you wake up in the morning
Wantin′ me

The way I wake up wantin' you
And in the same breath
You keep hauntin′ me
Does it ever occur to you
I've been in love too long
To stop now, oh
I've been away too long
I′ve been away too long

If you′ve ever cried
Then you'll know the pain
You felt inside
And just like me you pray
It′s all untrue


But time alone will tell
If you have learned
Life's lessons well
And maybe then you′ll know
What I should do

Been away, I've been away
I′ve been away too long
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
Too long, much too long
Much too long
