Living my summers out in a hotel
Finally found a moment to set a spell
Heard things at home were going astray

Won't you give me a moment I've been away

I heard my name but didn't turn around
Waited on the stairs for you to take the elevator down
And down
When I got to my room I found out

You've been a lover and you've been a friend
There've been others I never meant
How many witnesses I couldn't say
Won't you give me a moment I've been away

I've been out of my head

First sign of winter I want you to go
Take nothing with you and never let it show
Leave me alone now so I can pray
Lord, Give me a moment I've been away
