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 ain't ringing, 'cause you still ain't calling
I ain't 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?

Yeah, 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?
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be?
