lyrics
How long have you been gone
My Love, why are you so withdrawn
Alone am I can’t you see
Do I need a sign to beg you please
Come let’s go and leave this land
To far-off shores without a sound
Shout out and say what you mean
Come out from this reality
I know your heart is back home
In time, together we shall roam
Across the sea, to far-off lands
Together we’ll be
Just like we planned
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
Day dawns and I’m still here
Too far to reach and to see clear
Your songs fill my heart
Your highest peaks and your holy ghats
Sing blackbird in the dead of night
Lead the way and give me light
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
How long can I wait for your touch?
How long can I wait for your love?
How long can I stay in this place?
Back home is where I will wait…
My Love, why are you so withdrawn
Alone am I can’t you see
Do I need a sign to beg you please
Come let’s go and leave this land
To far-off shores without a sound
Shout out and say what you mean
Come out from this reality
I know your heart is back home
In time, together we shall roam
Across the sea, to far-off lands
Together we’ll be
Just like we planned
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
Day dawns and I’m still here
Too far to reach and to see clear
Your songs fill my heart
Your highest peaks and your holy ghats
Sing blackbird in the dead of night
Lead the way and give me light
I know that the sun lies eastward
I know where my heart belongs
Back home where my love lies waiting
Back home where we are one
How long can I wait for your touch?
How long can I wait for your love?
How long can I stay in this place?
Back home is where I will wait…

Masana Temples
by Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様supported by 13 fans who also own “How Long”
Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem!

Been a huge fan of bands like the Warlocks, BJT, dolly rocker movement…etc… really glad to have found these guys. Been playing this album non stop for days now and can’t think of any better way to be spending my time.

Chantry / The Villain
by Mt. Mountainsupported by 11 fans who also own “How Long”
This record somehow manages to slow down time! I enjoy the overall sound of the instruments and especially the voice. Either listen to this in a dark room and relax or crank up the volume and feel the fuzz! (Will probably sound even better on vinyl)
