Lyrics

Never Been Gone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The wind is coming up strong and fast

And the moon is smiling on me

Miles from nowhere

So small at last

In between the sky and the sea

I'm bound for the island

The tide is with me

I think I can make it by dawn

Oh, it's night on the ocean

And I'm going home

And it feels like I've never

I've never been gone

Seagulls cry and the hills are green

And my friends are waiting for me

Great ambition is all a dream

Let me drown my pride in the sea

I'm bound for the ocean

The tide is with me

I think I can make it by dawn

It's night on the ocean

And I'm going home

And it feels like I've never

I've never been gone

Oh it feels like I've never

I've never been gone
