It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
I feel as though you ought to know that I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do, I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay
