You been gone so long
That I don't know
How to welcome you
When you get here
Been gone so long
That I must spend
Some time
To get prepared
Been gone so long
So the things
I'd tell you
Don't seem to matter
Been gone so long
It's been quite awhile
Since things around me
Started to get better
Oooh you been gone so long
I've been alone
So I've got used to the nights
And the mornings
And my new habits
It's changed the tones
So the rhythm slowly
Took our dance
Into the shadows
It's coming days
When I don't know
If we can continue
Or if we must start over
Your stay away
Made me waiting
Like a woman for her
Missing soldier
Ooooh you've been gone so long
Ooooh it's been so long
Ooooh you've been gone so long
Ooooh it's been so long
Been gone so long
And I let someone
Step into the picture
While you were gone
I met someone
And he makes
Our picture blurred
