Never Been Gone

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)
 The wind is coming up strong and fast
 And the moon is smiling on me
 Miles from nowhere so small at last
 In between the sky and the sea
 I'm bound for the island
 The tide is with me
 I think I can make it before dawn
 It's night on the ocean
 I'm going home
 And it feels like I've never
 I've never been gone
 Seagulls cry and the hills are green
 And my friends are waiting for me
 Freat ambition is all a dream
 Let me drown my pride in the sea -
 I'm bound for the ocean
 The tide is with me
 I think I can make it by dawn
 It's night on the ocean
 I'm going home
 And it feels like I've never
 I've never been gone
 Oh it feels like I've never
 i've never been gone
