Baby’s been gone, too long
The day’s growing short
The winter’s coming on
And baby’s been gone too long
La la la, la la
When the cat’s away
It all goes to the dogs
The mice come to play
It’s no fun at all
When baby’s been gone too long
When your baby’s been gone and you wish that they wasn’t
Things just tend to go from bad to worst
Not sure what’s coming next but I bet it’s gonna hurt
When your baby’s been gone and you wish that they weren’t
It’s the same old song
I hear you yawning, I know you’re bored
Still it pours out of me, adding nothing to the world
Sticky as oil
Pulling creatures underneath the waves
Burning holes in the sky, starting wars and just genеrally
Fucking up your day - still I implore
Do not stop me if you’ve hеard this one before
My baby’s been gone
When the cat’s away
The wolves come to the door
The mice turn and say "Hey man
These ain't our friends... they must be yours."
And the angel in palm of your hand says "This time man I’ve done all I can
But I really do understand your baby’s been gone."
La la la, la la
When your baby’s been gone and you wish that they wasn’t
Things just tend to go from bad to bleak
If you didn’t think that love could bring you to your knees
This kind of shit’s gonna make you believe
When baby comes home well I’ll be overjoyed
Hug and hold her never let her leave
Raise a glass to the moon and say a prayer for the lovers
When your baby’s been gone and you wish that they wasn’t
