[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Sweet mother, 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] L 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
