"Time Away" lyrics

Ooh, been time away
I've been smoking down by the river
Still miles away
Where the sun goes down in the winter
Where the sun goes down in the winter
And we all have someone we're missing

Holding onto hope sometimes, days on end
Something always told me there'd be days like this
Nights round the corner, got no trust in these days
Drifting in the car, just need to fly away
Lord I've been high, does heaven know
No life can leave a heavy load?
Nothing's too late
And I know that we'll find

And my fingers found the phone again
'Cause I'm having it hard here
It's the symptoms of a lonely land
And you're having a hard year
And don't lie, I know you lost your mind like I did
But sometimes we fall

It's been time away
And I've been smoking down by the river
Still miles away
Where the sun goes down in the winter
Where the sun goes down in the winter
And I wish this hope would deliver, oh yeah

Ain't seen no one else now in weeks
So tired, too high when you're fed up
And these four walls don't ever speak
Come down on a line, on the edge of
And my brother, we need to speak
I'm losing my head
Sweet mother, I need your peace
It's something I let go of
You see the man in me's lost sometimes
No wonder it's been taking me time to get home
And maybe this time, I'll wake up
Still writing these lines to let go, oh yeah

Been time away
I've been smoking down by the river
Still miles away
Where the sun goes down in the winter
Where the sun goes down in the winter
And I wish this hope would deliver, oh yeah

It's been time away
And I've been smoking down by the river
Still miles away
Where the sun goes down in the winter
Where the sun goes down in the winter
And I wish this hope would deliver

I said I wish this hope would deliver
Still here smoking down by the river, oh yeah
Still here smoking down by the river, oh my
I'm still here smoking down by the river, oh yeah
I'm still here smoking down by the river, oh yeah
