I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
Well I went down to a house
That I used to know
The gra** it had all grown up
And covered up the door
And there was a man standing across the street
He said who do you seek
He told me the girl
She just don't live here anymore
I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
Now the man her looked at me
He didn't know whether to cry or grin
He said now what were you to her
Were you a lover or just a friend?
Cause it was six long months a go
With a tall, handsome guy
That she waved to me
Her last good bye
I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
