Been Away So Long Songtext

And the rain that's coming down
On the streets of this old town
Ain't never gonna fall on me again

CHO
Well, I hope you don't think I forgot about you
When I've been away so long
And every time I pick up my guitar
I can hear you singing along
I've felt half as much a man without you,
I've felt half as much alive
It's taken my whole life to realize
How much I need you.

Pulling out on a dusty train
With the windowpane
Where I write my name
For you to see
Two o'clock on the telephone
And you're still not home I just let it ring

I can't relate to the twists of fate
That changed my plans
I've been living someone else's life
But I discovered who I am
