The Whitlams - Been Away Too Long lyrics

Everything looks strange to me like a recurring dream I think I know what's coming, til it turns out wrong I've been away, away too long I can't change where I've been the bad I've done and seen But my heart has a home and it got here on its own I've been away, away too long Been away too long Through a doorway in the night towards the sound of cheering I'll be gone at a minute to 12 You don't want to have to see me turn into myself I've been away too long There's a warmth that I miss familiar like a kiss But the girls had no name and the singer no song I've been away, away too long When we burn the cane the mice all run When the cane is burnt the mice all run When the fire burnt out I came back home When the cane was burnt I came back home There's no gate and no wall in my way at all And if Janis died for my sins even I can start again I've been away too long
