My Return

Been away for ten years and the day can't find my way
It's changed, I'm nothing like a total stranger
And here they are, the remnants of my past
So near and yet so far

Don't miss a gap of time with someone
Don't hear a sound, a creature from a foreign land
Don't tell my tale, but they don't seem to understand
Depressed and hope for something more

Their interest and their support
They want so much more than what's outside their front door
They've been anticipating, awaiting my return so long
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long

It's becoming so frustrating
I thought we'd stay the same, but I was wrong
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
So here they stand, the creatures from a motherland

They tell their tale, my eyes glaze over, raise my hand
I knock, a child answers the door
I see his eyes and that small face of generations
But I know our time has long gone

I've been anticipating, awaiting my return so long
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
It's becoming so frustrating
I thought we'd stay the same, but I was wrong

Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
The same old face, same face
Familiar moment, race
We sing my favorite song

Seems like I've never gone
But when I see you smile
The journey has worked well
The memories of the time, the time when you were mine

I've been anticipating, awaiting my return so long
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
It's becoming so frustrating
I thought we'd stay the same, but I was wrong

Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return

Frustrated my return
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return

Frustrated my return
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return

Frustrated my return
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return
Yes, I've been gone, I've been gone so long
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return

Frustrated my return
Awaiting my return, frustrated my return
