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 be late

Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried

I ... 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

I ... 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

But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't be late

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
