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.
