Gone so Long

You've been gone so long that I don't know how to welcome you, when you get here

You've been gone so long I must spend some time to get prepared

You've been gone so long so the things I'd tell you don't seem to matter

You've been gone so long it's been quite a while since things around me started to get better

I've been alone so I've got used to the nights, and the mornings and my new habits
