well i've been all around the world |
|
he thought to himself one morning |
|
what have i to show for it? where have i been? |
|
he had a house on a quiet street children at play |
|
now it hits him where he lives i've been away |
|
i've been away my darlings i've been away |
|
he walks the streets of his home town |
|
he couldn't find a soul around |
|
he stepped into a tavern where his old bar had been |
|
when a man inquired if he knew the score of the game |
|
i couldn't help you there my friend i've been away |
|
i've been away i'm sorry i've been away |
|
there's a crescent moon upon the hill |
|
all around is quiet and still |
|
he walks along the service road as if in a dream |
|
when a voice from somewhere cries is everything okay? |
|
can i walk beside you now? i've been away |
|
i've been away my brother i've been away |
|
i've been away my brother i've been away |
