Lyrics for Been Away Too Long
You can't go home, no, I swear you never can [00:24.62] You can walk a million miles and get nowhere [00:30.86] I got nowhere to go ever since I came back [00:37.08] Just filling in the lines from the holes to the cracks [00:42.45] [00:45.45] And no one knows me [00:48.76] No one saves me [00:51.90] No one loves or hates me [00:54.97] I've been away for too long [00:58.59] [01:02.43] This place has a sá¹—ecial kind of falling apart [01:08.60] Like they put the whole thing together in the dark [01:14.97] And no one knows where the edge of the knife is [01:21.25] And no one knows what intelligent life is [01:26.21] [01:29.32] And no one knows me [01:32.60] No one saves me [01:35.85] No one loves or hates me [01:38.51] But it's fate [01:40.17] I only ever really wanted a break [01:43.41] I've been away for too long [01:46.16] Though I never really wanted to stay [01:49.58] I've been away for too long [01:52.91] [02:05.39] I've been away for too long [02:09.42] [02:11.68] I've been away for too long [02:15.38] [02:28.80] Kilos, through key-holes [02:35.03] Widows through windows [02:41.41] Pilots through eyelets, everyone is silent [02:53.91] Tankards and flagons and snifters and flutes [03:00.38] On my way home [03:04.70] But it's fate [03:06.25] I only ever really wanted a break [03:09.65] I've been away for too long [03:12.55] Though I never really wanted to stay [03:15.95] I've been away [03:17.58] But it's fate [03:18.72] I only ever really wanted a break [03:22.12] I've been away for too long [03:24.93] Though I never really wanted to stay [03:28.48] I've been away for too long [03:30.20]
