Gov't Mule - Gone Too Long

Dreams mixed with time can take you on a journey
I know I've been too far in flight
Stir in some pain and some known remedies
And the days turn into nights
Gone too long

Home and security never meant much to me
Always chose to go my own way
They say freedom comes and freedom goes
But loneliness is here to stay
Gone too long

Never thought I'd see the world through somebody else's eyes
But finally I can see where I've been
Too many nights without a friend

Hands of time are pushing me along
And I'm growing tired of resisting
Dreaming now still takes me on a journey
I'm closer to the shore but I'm still drifting

There's a light shining on an open door
And a heart that's warm and true
Chasing my shadow has never let me down
Long as it leads me back to you
Gone too long

Never thought I'd see myself through somebody else's eyes
But finally I can see who I am
Finally found someone who gives a damn

I've gotta go now - work's picked up again
God knows I'm dying to play
One more kiss - I'll leave it on my lips
But please don't let me stay
Gone too long

One more kiss - I'll leave it on my lips
But please don't let me stay
Gone too long

But please don't let me stay

Gone too long

One more kiss - I'll leave it on my lips
But please don't let me stay
Gone too long
