My Return

Been away For ten years and a day Can't find my way It's changed And I feel like a total stranger And here they are The remnants of my past So near and yet so far To bridge the gap of time is so hard So here I stand A creature from a foreign land I tell my tale But they don't seem to understand Surprised , I hoped for something more Their interest and their support The world is so much more than what's outside their front door I've been anticipating Awaiting my return So long! (so long) Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long It's becoming so frustrating I thought we'd stay the same But I was wrong (I was wrong) Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long So here they stand The creatures from my motherland They tell their tale My eyes glaze over, I raise my hand I knock. A child answers the door My friend's eyes in that small face A generation's passed I know our time has long gone I've been anticipating Awaiting my return So long! (so long) Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long It's becoming so frustrating I thought we'd stay the same But I was wrong (I was wrong) Yes I've been gone I've been gone so long The same words the same face Familiar warm embrace We sing our favourite song Seems like I've never gone And when I see you smile The journey is worthwhile The memories of the time The time when you were mine I've been anticipating Awaiting my return So long! (so long) Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long It's becoming so frustrating I thought we'd stay the same But I was wrong (I was wrong) Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long Awaiting my return Frustrating my return Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long Awaiting my return Frustrating my return Frustrating my Return Awaiting my return Frustrating my return Yes, I've been gone I've been gone so long Awaiting my return Frustrating my return Frustrating my Return
