Paroles – Adamo – Away too long
Salvatore Adamo
AWAY TOO LONG
I returned to my old hometown one day
It was years ago I'd gone away
The girls to use to care
Had things to do elsewhere
I felt a stranger there
I've been away too long
It was much too late for me
To walk in memory
And lonely as could be
I looked around
Jane had wed her school friend Johnny Brown
Pat had wed the tailor of the town
The lovely Marie–Claire
Had wed her millionaire
And no one seemed to care
I've been away too long
I'd been away too long
To hang around was wrong
And so I went alone
To fine the boys
Tom has got a family of three
Jim had gone away to gay Paris
And Joe once full of life
Now runs home to his wife
And so I drunk alone
To yesterday
And as the sun went down
I left my own hometown
I left my old hometown
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
AWAY TOO LONG
I returned to my old hometown one day
It was years ago I'd gone away
The girls to use to care
Had things to do elsewhere
I felt a stranger there
I've been away too long
It was much too late for me
To walk in memory
And lonely as could be
I looked around
Jane had wed her school friend Johnny Brown
Pat had wed the tailor of the town
The lovely Marie–Claire
Had wed her millionaire
And no one seemed to care
I've been away too long
I'd been away too long
To hang around was wrong
And so I went alone
To fine the boys
Tom has got a family of three
Jim had gone away to gay Paris
And Joe once full of life
Now runs home to his wife
And so I drunk alone
To yesterday
And as the sun went down
I left my own hometown
I left my old hometown
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
