Been So Long

Well I have driven down this road a hundred times before
But I've always missed the turning that led me to your door
And I couldn't help but notice that it's fallen off its hinges
Your roof's got rust, your floor's got dust, your father's prone to binges

So what's so wrong with me, my love? I can't get near you now
Been so long I just don't know, should I smile and wave, or shake your hand, or bow?

Well, I have gotten older, it's very clear to see
The walk I walked, the road I rode, has ridden over me
And you surely must have noticed that I've fallen off my hinges
Any girl I've met, she must accept a fair few burns and singes

So what's so wrong with me, my love? I can't get near you now
Been so long I just don't know, should I smile and wave, or shake your hand, or bow?

In the time that I have travelled far around the world
A heavy stone has held you down that I will lift my girl
And though you deserve better, than to be loved by me
If you give me access to your fetters, I have kept the key

So what's so wrong with me, my love? I can't get near you now
Been so long I just don't know, should I smile and wave, or shake your hand, or bow?

So what's so wrong with me, my love? I can't get near you now
Been so long I just don't know, should I smile and wave, or shake your hand, or bow?
