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

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.
