The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

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
