Somethin' 'Bout Being Gone

(album: This Dream's On Me - 1982)

It'd be nice feeling my arms holding you tight
It'd be nice being with you every night
And it'd be great never having to wake up feeling alone
But there's something 'bout being gone and then comming home

It'd be good cuddling any time that we like
Walk in the woods, out of the room and dimming the lights
But it's being apart that's making the good stay good for so long
There's just something 'bout being gone and then comming home

There's just something 'bout being gone
When you got a good woman waiting at home
That makes you count every mile in the road you're on
And that distance just making it strong
It's a feeling I know that you've known
If you've ever been away from your lady for long
There's just something 'bout being gone and then comming home

I guess it's them nights thinking of you and how it will be
Seeing the sights all in my mind at home waiting for me
Knowing you know I'm thinking of you every minute I'm gone
There's just something 'bout being gone and then comming home

There's just something 'bout being gone
When you got a good woman waiting at home
That makes you count every mile in the road you're on
And that distance just making it strong
It's a feeling I know that you've known
If you've ever been away from your lady for long
There's just something 'bout being gone and then comming home
There's just something 'bout being gone and then comming home
