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 by dawn
Oh, it's night on the ocean
And 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
Great 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
And 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
