Songtext von I've Been Away

Well I've been all around the world He thought to himself one morning What have I to show for it, Where have I been? He had a house on a quiet street Children at play Now it hits him where he lives I've been away I've been away My darlings I've been away He walks the streets of his home town He couldn't find a soul around He stepped into a tavern Where his old bar had been When a man inquired if he knew the score of the game I couldn't help you there, my friend I've been away I've been away I'm sorry I've been away There's a crescent moon upon the hill All around is quiet and still He walks along the service road As if in a dream When a voice from somewhere cries Is everything ok? Can I walk beside you now? I've been away I've been away, My brother I've been away
