Robyn Hitchcock - Recalling the Truth lyrics

Recalling the truth the way that it seems
The way that it falls
Between you and your dreams
The way you said "yes" as you followed me in
You been gone so long

Recalling the truth now what could that be?
The truth can just change
Like the tide on the sea
When the river runs out
And the mountain grows still
You've been gone so long
A kiss on the stairs a heartbeat embraced
A kiss in the morning
On the side of your face recalling the truth
A window of bliss that open’s just once
For the price of a kiss
If the price is too high
Then to pay it's a sin you've been gone
So long

You hide from yourself
But it’s tracking you down
It was me that was lost
And it's you that i've found
Recalling the truth whatever that was
It doesn't last long whatever does?
Do the men always end where the women begin?
You've been gone so long
You've been gone so long
You've been gone
