When You've Been Away for a Long Time

Kingston Trio


When you've been away from the color of the sky, when you've
Been away for a long time
You will see it true. it's a different shade of blue when you've
Been away for a long time.

When you've been away from the music in your heart, when you've
Been away for a long time.
The songs come back again like an old familiar friend when
You've been away for a long time.

I can hear. i can see. i can feel. i am free and i've been away
For a long time.

When you've been away from the loving in your soul, when you've
Been away for a long time.
I hear it's like a rain that washes all your pain when you've
Been away for a long time.

When you've been away from someone you once knew, when you've
Been away for a long time.
If you find it true that someone was just you, then you've been
Away for a long time.
I can hear. i can see. i can feel. i am free
And i've been away, i've been away, i've been away for a long
Time.
