Lyrics

Baby’s Been Gone

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
