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