Good-bye I won't be long
I am on my way back home
So much I've got to say
I hope you'll understand my way
Borrowing time
You know it just ain't right
It's so hard to believe
All that's passed behind
I've been gone so long
At times I can't tell right from wrong
Stay away from sleepless nights
Waiting for the morning light
Why do you worry
Why do you cry
Come tomorrow morning
All your fears will die
Good-bye I won't be long
I'm on my way back home
So much I've got to say
I hope you'll understand my way
