Kingston Trio - When You've Been Away for a Long Time lyrics

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
