lyrics

Far across the river are stories to tell
Kingdoms wide and wealthy might treat you well
Far across the mountains are places to see
But home is the only place I would be

I'm suspended here like I've commited a crime
Whole week on the road, consuming time
Voices in my head starting to moan
Stars will rearrange, take me back home

(chorus):
I've been away - too far too long
Take me home - or somewhere I know

Can you hear the voices calling me home
Telling me blue stories, forever alone
Keeping me distracted, playing for keeps
Showing me wrong pictures at nights in my sleep

I'm suspended here like I've commited a crime
Whole week on the road feels like doing time
I am marking places I don't want to be
Back home there's a life waiting for me

(chorus):
I’ve been away too far too long
Won’t you come along and take me home again
I've been away - too far too long
Take me home - or somewhere I know

I’ve been away too far too long...

(chorus)
