Living my summers out in a hotel
Finally found the room to set a spell
Heard things at home were going astray
Won’t you give me a moment, I’ve been away
I heard my name, but didn’t turn around
Waited on the stairs for you to take the elevator down
And down
When I got to my room, I found out
You’ve been a lover, and you’ve been a friend
There’ve been others I never meant
How many witnesses, I couldn’t say
Lord, give me a moment I’ve been away
I’ve been away, I’ve been away
I’ve been away and I’ve been out of my head
First sign of winter, I want you to go
Take nothing with you and never let it show
But leave me alone now, so I can pray
Lord, give me a moment I’ve been away
I’ve been away, I’ve been away
I’ve been away, and I’ve been out of my head
