It’s been a long time,
now I’m
coming back home.
I’ve been away now,
Oh how
I’ve been alone.
Wait
until 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
until 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.
