How Long Gone

(album: If You See Her - 1998)

I keep thinking any minute you'll be coming home honey
I aint seen nothing of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

All you said was you had to get going
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowing just
How long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be

Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be

The phone aint ringing, cause you still aint calling
I aint been hearing your footsteps falling
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
