You've gone away To a place where I can't touch you And I want to fly away and I'll come right up To your front door just to say 'hello', ohhh And I will try to keep my best face on, ohhh You've been gone for oh so long No And I have to tell you now that I'm sorry for my frown but things are not the same for me And I'm back in california in my home where I will be Dear, close your eyes, you'll fight off all those monsters in your Mind and you'll see, truly How wonderful you are to me, oh And you will pick up all your teeth off the floor, oh You've been gone for oh so long And I have to tell you now that I'm sorry for my frown but things are not the same for me I've gone away and I left you in the dark I've tried so hard not to break your heart I stand alone like a mountain of stone But you didn't know, that I'm not cold, no I'm not cold And you've been raging like the sea Been trying to see how I could have left you there alone, I'm alone And me, I've been trying to figure out Been trying to see how I could have left you there alone I'm alone
