You woke up from the dead one morning
And had a look around
Wiggled your toes and your fingers
And then you walked to the nearest town
You woke up from the dead one morning
Oh, what a surprise
I was sure you would be dead forever
Oh, how wrong was I
Ref:
You've been gone for so long
You've been gone so very long
I told my friends what I had seen
But they would not believe it
They still won't believe a word I tell them
But that's alright with me
Cause I have seen your face in the crowds
And I have heard your voice
Echoing in the streets and it made my lonely heart rejoyce
Ref:
You've been gone for so long
You've been gone so very long
You've been gone, you've been gone, you've been gone so long
You went back to the dead after some time
And that seems fair
The world has changed so much and turned so bleek since you were here
But you've left little clues and hints around for me to find
Proof that you've been here in case
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
You've been gone so very long
You've been gone, you've been gone, you've been gone so long
