Long Time Gone

When I look around for anything familiar
 Even my reflection shows another face
 Even my voice singing sounds out of place
 Every lie that I believed when I was little
 Every thought that I was selfish, I was bad
 Now they gather round me, all that I have
 I'm a long time gone
 The calendar carried along
 No one could see me and no one could save me
 From my own song
 When it all comes home
 Living this life all alone
 No one to care for me, nothing is fair
 It's a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
 Now I pull the shades down, nothing more to see here
 Just a lonely girl who thought she had more time
 I'm a long time gone
 The calendar carried along
 No one could see me and no one could save me
 From my own song
 When it all comes home
 Living this life all alone
 No one to care for me, nothing is fair
 It's a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
 So tell me if you know
 Is this my time to go?
 I've just begun this drive on the open road
 I'm a long time gone
 The calendar carried along
 No one could see me and no one could save me
 From my own song
 When it all comes home
 Living this life all alone
 No one to care for me, nothing is fair
 It's a climb up the stairs to a place unknown
