From the recording Of What Is Left
Lyrics
I can feel the loose gravel under my soles
Clouds tease me with shade as they roll
That unforgiving sun steals my soul from my blood
My teeth grind up that wind blown dust
For years I’ve walked this asphalt
Trying to escape all my thoughts
My heels drag with every step
As my ideals become regrets
Chorus
I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
I don’t even know the way back home
Well I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
Oh I walk this world alone
Well I was young when I left home
Confident and cocky I could take this world on my own
But the road was seldom straight
And I didn’t learn from my mistakes
Like the dirt that’s worn into my boots
I carry guilt I cannot lose
Deaf to the voices in my head
And blind to the path that lay ahead
Chorus
I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
I don’t even know the way back home
Well I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
Oh I walk this world alone
Bridge
Well I’ve followed that never-ending white line
And endulged myself in women and wine
No matter where I lay my head
I wake up wishing that I was home instead
Chorus
I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
I don’t even know the way back home
Well I’ve been gone, gone, gone
For so long, long, long
Oh I walk this world alone
