[Verse 1]
That's where I ran out of road
Left a little of my soul there
Broke down, "come back home"
Mumma, life didn't do me fair
Gotta go fast, can't stop here
No time to catch my breath
Never thought I'd end up alone
Never thought it'd break my back

[Pre-Chorus]
Say nothing, say nothing
Just needed to hear your voice
Keep wishing on nothing to see your little boy

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
And now you're just a photograph I kept to take your place
With what the years have done to me
Am I the man you said I'd be?
'Causе I've been gone so long that I can barely see your facе
Runaway, come home

[Verse 2]
Time passes ever by
The sailboats in the night; silent - out of sight
Will you recognize me still?
Because I tend to kill the good that you instilled
[Pre-Chorus]
Say nothing, say nothing
Just needed to hear your voice
Keep wishing on nothing to see your little boy

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
And now you're just a photograph I kept to take your place
With what the years have done to me, am I the man you said I'd be?
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home
Runaway, come home

[Outro]
With what the years have done to me, am I the man you said I'd be?
'Cause I've been gone so long that I can barely see your face
Runaway, come home
