If you could see me now, the one who said that he'd rather roam,
the one [ who] said he'd rather be alone, if you could only see me now.
If I could hold you now, just for [ a] moment, if I could make you mine,
just [ for] a while, turn back the hands of time, if I could only hold you now.
I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I [ can,]
looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains, [ lying] or loving again.
If you could hear me now, [ singing] somewhere through a lonely night,
dreaming in lovey arms that held me tight, if [ you] could only hear me now.
[ I've] been too long in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I can,
looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains, lying or loving arms again.
I've been too [ long] in the wind, too long in the rain, taking any comfort that I can,
looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains, lying or loving arms again.
