I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
Well I went down to a house
that I used to know
The grass it had all grown up
and covered up the door
and there was a man standing across the street
he said who do you seek
he told me the girl
she just don’t live here anymore
I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
Now the man her looked at me
he didn’t know whether to cry or grin
he said now what were you to her
were you a lover or just a friend?
Cause it was six long months a go
with a tall, handsome guy
that she waved to me
her last good bye
I stayed away too long
I stayed away too long
