From Jonn McDermott's album "On a Whim"

- Lyrics (written by Ron Sexsmith) -

Well I've been all around the world

He thought to himself one morning

What have I to show for it

Where have I been?

He had a house on a quiet street

And children at play

Now it hits him where he lives

I've been away

I've been away my darlings

I've been away

He walks the streets of his home town

He couldn't find a soul around

He stepped into a tavern where

His old bar had been

When a man inquired if he knew the score of the game

I couldn't help you there my friend

I've been away

I've been away I'm sorry

I've been away

There's a crescent moon upon the hill

All around is quiet and still

He walks along the service road

As if in a dream

When a voice from somewhere cries

Is everything ok?

Can I walk beside you now?

I've been away

I've been away my brother

I've been away

I've been away my brother

I've been away

@msn98y Thanks very much to you! :-) I though the image fit well because it shows a lonely man in an unknown place of the world, it reminded me of the lyrics of the song.
