Been Away Too Long
Whitlams

Everything looks strange to me like a recurring dream

I think I know what's coming, til it turns out wrong

I've been away, away too long

I can't change where I've been the bad I've done and seen

But my heart has a home and it got here on it's own

I've been away, away too long


Been away too long

Through a doorway in the night towards the sound of cheering

I'll be gone at a minute to 12

You don't want to have to see me turn into myself

I've been away too long

There's a warmth that I miss familiar like a kiss

But the girls had no name and the singer no song

I've been away, away too long


When we burn the cane the mice all run

When the cane is burnt the mice all run

When the fire burnt out I came back home

When the cane was burnt I came back home


There's no gate and no wall in my way at all

And if Janis died for my sins even I can start again

I've been away too long
