How Long Lyrics

How long have you been gone
My Love, why are you so withdrawn

Alone am I can't you see
Do I need a sign to beg you please

Come let's go and leave this land
To far-off shores without a sound

Shout out and say what you mean
Come out from this reality

I know your heart is back home
In time, together we shall roam

Across the sea, to far-off lands
Together we'll be
Just like we planned

I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one

Day dawns and I'm still here
Too far to reach and to see clear

Your songs fill my heart
Your highest peaks and your holy ghats

Sing blackbird in the dead of night
Lead the way and give me light

I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one

How long can I wait for your touch?
How long can I wait for your love?
How long can I stay in this place?
Back home is where I will wait…
