Testo How Long Has It Been - Shirley Caesar

Testo della canzone How Long Has It Been (Shirley Caesar), tratta dall'album Hymns

In a town that's so far away

There is someone who's old and gray

She's sitting by her window

And she's all alone, yes she is

She has raised two or three children

And now they're up and gone

Tell me how long, how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Since you've been home

Tell me how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Since you've been home

Tell me how long, how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Tell me right now

Is it one year?

Is it two years?

Has it been five years?

Has it been ten, ten years?

Tell me how long, how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Oh, someone received a letter

And these are the words it said

If you want to see your mother

You've got to come home

You've got to come home

But the next day there was a telegram

That said you're too late

Your mother is gone

Tell me how long, how long has it been

Yeah, since you've been home?

Can I ask the question one more time?

Tell me how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

Tell me how long has it been

Since you've been home?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Is it one year?

Is it two years?

Is it five years?

Or maybe was it ten years?

All I wanna know

Tell me how long, tell me how long has it been

Since you've been home?

How long has it been?

Since you've been home

When was the last time you called your mother?

Since you've been home

When was the last time you sat down and wrote a letter?

Since you've been home

When was the last time you went home?

Since you've been home

Tell me how long, tell me how long

Since you've been home

What you need to do right now is go to the telephone

Time to go home

Call mama, call your father

Time to go home

What you need to do right now is catch a bus

Drive your car, get on a train, get on a plane

But make your way, you gotta go see your mother

Oh, oh, oh

Time to go home

Tell me how long, how long has it been

Since you've been home?

You've been home
