Like I've Never Been Gone

(album: Pictures At Eleven - 1982)

I'll see you, baby
When the ice has broken
When the rain stops falling down
I'll be waiting for you, baby
When your time has come
And your face no longer frowns

I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I sense the light in your eyes
I'd wake to find you smiling with the dawn
Just reminders of the times

I feel your breath
I look around, but you are gone
I see the place where you'd been lying

I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I see the sunlight in your eyes
It's been so long, it's been so long
So long, since you've been gone
I look away, I can't see that you're gone
I guess I'm standing here alone

Across the sea, I see bluebirds on high
In wildest places too
Above the ground the wind is calling out to me
Oh, to lead me back to you

I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I can still see the sunlight in your eyes
In your eyes
It's been so long, it's been so long
So long since you've been gone
I look away, I can see that your gone
I guess I'm standing here alone

Well, I'll see you, babe
When the ice has broken
When the rain stops falling down
I'll be waiting for you
Baby, when your time has come
And your face no longer frowns

But I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I see the sunlight in your eyes
Oh, oh... yes, I can, I can, I can
Yes, I can see, I can see
I can see that it's true, yes
Oh, baby, it's like I've never been gone
It's just like, just like I've never been gone
Oh, baby, it's like I've never been gone
