Everything looks strange to me like a recurring dream
I think I know what's coming, til it turns out wrong
Ive been away, away too long
I cant change where Ive been the bad Ive done and seen
But my heart has a home and it got here on its own
Ive been away, away too long
Been away too long
Through a doorway in the night towards the sound of cheering
Ill be gone at a minute to 12
You dont want to have to see me turn into myself
Ive been away too long
Theres a warmth that I miss familiar like a kiss
But the girls had no name and the singer no song
Ive been away, away too long
When we burn the cane the mice all run
When the cane is burnt the mice all run
When the fire burnt out I came back home
When the cane was burnt I came back home
Theres no gate and no wall in my way at all
And if Janis died for my sins even I can start again
I've been away too long
