about

“While You Were Away” is jangly Power Pop. Think Pretenders
• Note: Tracks 6 and 7 transposed on the back cover track listing of actual CD.

lyrics

Talking to anyone at all
Even talking to the wall
My tallest friend
Clocks chime forever-marking time
Like a song without a rhyme
There’s no good end

And I wonder where you’ve been
Were you in your wildest dream?
Are you going back in or will you stay?
You’ve been ever on my mind
I was never so blind
Then the colors came to replace the grey

Too far across an empty room
The wrong end of a zoom
You loom too small
Lights dim, but I can make you out
A silhouette in doubt about to fall

And I wonder where you’ve been
Were you in your wildest dream?
Are you going back in or will you stay?
You’ve been ever on my mind
I was never so blind
Then the colors came to replace the gray

I was never so blind
Then the colors came to replace the grey
While you were away
