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

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

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

It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh, how I've been alone
