How Long Have I Been Gone Lyrics

I need to know when the glow went out.

When did the magic stop working for me?

When did I fade? When did I fall?

How long have I been gone?

I need a word with the bird that's flown.

Just for a moment help me remember

How was I loved? How was I strong?

How long have I been gone?

I always figured there was something watching over;

Something would nudge me when I'd stayed too long.

I never wanted to be standing on the stage

When the show was over and the crowd was gone.

I need the view from behind your eyes.

What did you see then? What don't you see now?

How do I return? How do I begin?

How long have I been gone?

How do I return? How do I begin?

How long have I been gone?

And when do I come home?

Home.
