Gone so Long - Sophie Zelmani

You’ve been gone so long that I don’t know how to welcome you, when you get here

You’ve been gone so long I must spend some time to get prepared

You’ve been gone so long so the things I’d tell you don’t seem to matter

You’ve been gone so long it’s been quite a while since things around me started

to get better

I’ve been alone so I’ve got used to the nights, and the mornings and my new

habits

It’s changed the tones so the rhythm slowly took our dance into the shadows

It’s coming days when I don’t know if we can continue or must start over

Your stay away made me waiting like a woman for her missing soldier

You’ve been gone so long and I’ve let someone step into the picture

While you were gone I met someone and he makes our picture blurred
