How Long

How long have you been gone
My Love, why are you so withdrawn
Alone am I can’t you see
Do I need a sign to beg you please
Come let’s go and leave this land
To far-off shores without a sound
Shout out and say what you mean
Come out from this reality
I know your heart is back home
In time, together we shall roam
Across the sea, to far-off lands
Together we’ll be
Just like we planned
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
Day dawns and I’m still here
Too far to reach and to see clear
Your songs fill my heart
Your highest peaks and your holy ghats
Sing blackbird in the dead of night
Lead the way and give me light
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
How long can I wait for your touch?
How long can I wait for your love?
How long can I stay in this place?
Back home is where I will wait…
