[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet lady runnin' like a stream
You don't look back because you know your hands are clean
You make believe that the past was just a dream
You make believe the past was just a dream

[Chorus]
Turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you’ve been
But you’ve been gone too long

[Verse 2]
Oh, Eliza you must begin again
And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end
I was your lover, but I thought I was your friend
I loved you but I thought I was your friend

[Chorus]
So turn around
Oh, Turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you’ve been
But you’ve been gone too long

[Verse 3]
Oh, sweet lady stand beside the sea
Maybe you will find a little time to think of me
Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be?
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be
[Chorus]
So turn around
Oh, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you’ve been
Oh, but you’ve been gone too long

[Outro]
Too long
I said, you’ve been gone too long
You’ve been gone too long
Da da da, da da da, oh
You’ve been gone too long
