Song Lyrics

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
