Away too long 歌词

I returned to my old hometown one day It was years ago I'd gone away The girls to use to care Had things to do elsewhere I felt a stranger there I've been away too long It was much too late for me To walk in memory And lonely as could be I looked around Jane had wed her school friend Johnny Brown Pat had wed the tailor of the town The lovely Marie-Claire Had wed her millionaire And no one seemed to care I've been away too long I'd been away too long To hang around was wrong And so I went alone To fine the boys Tom has got a family of three Jim had gone away to gay Paris And Joe once full of life Now runs home to his wife And so I drunk alone To yesterday And as the sun went down I left my own hometown I left my old hometown I've been away too long I've been away too long I've been away too long
