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.
Have I stayed away too long have I stayed away too long
If I come home tonight would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long
The love light that shone so strong sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight would that same light be shining
Or have I staed away too long
I'm just outside of town and I'll soon be at your door
Or maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best stay out of town and worry you no more
Maybe someone else has made you care
And if all of my dreams gone wrong my beautiful dreams gone wrong
If I came home tonight would you still be my darling
Or have I stayed away too long
[ guitar ]
I'm just outside of town...
If I came home tonight...
