I′ve been away a little while

And it don't make sense to me

Haven′t seen you in a little whileAnd I get a bit lonely

But do you ever wonder

Where I went

Do you ever leave the lights on at seven thirty when I would go to bed

Do you ever wonder

Where I've been

For so long

Mom and dad

Did you ever search for me

I swear when they think I'm asleep

I hear you on their tv screens

Keep calling out my name

′Cause it helps me see your face

If I could let you know

I′d let you know

I'm okay

I′ve been gone a little while

And I miss you dearly

Blue skies, cold nights I saw outside and I recognised the trees

But do you ever wonder

Where I went

Do you ever leave the lights on at seven thirty when I would go to bed

Do you ever wonder

Where I've been

For so long

Mom and dad

Did you ever search for me

I swear when they think I′m asleep

I hear you on their TV screens

Keep calling out my name

'Cause it helps me see your face

And if I could let you know

I′d let you know

I'm okay enough

Maybe if I pray enough

He'll show you where I am

He′ll guide your hand

And then you′ll turn up

Maybe if I talk too much

Maybe if I run amok

They'll get it in their head

That I′m not theirs and then they'll give me up

Been away a little while

It′s been a few years I think

And I don't know where you are

But I′ve changed a bit

Since I was six
