Lyrics

Your voice I hear, you seem so near.
Still, you are far, far away.
Time drags along, everything’s wrong,
As broken hearted I stray.

Chorus:
It seems like ages and ages,
And you’ve only been gone a day.
The night shadows fall.
With tears I recall.
True love in a shack
How I wish you were back.
The long and weary hours
Just wear my heart away.
It seems like ages and ages,
And you’ve only been gone a day.

Verse 2
You’ll always rest close to my breast.
Echoes of love seem to sigh.
Time can’t erase your smiling face.
I keep on wondering why:
