Katie' Been Gone

Katie's been gone since the spring time

She wrote one time and sent her love

Katie's been gone for such a long time now

I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of

Dear Katie if you can hear me

I can't wait to have ya near me

Dear Katie since ya caught that bus

Well I just don't know how things are with us

I'm still here and you're out there

Katie laughed when I said "I was lonely"

She said "There's no need to feel that way"

Katie said that I was her only one

But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay

Dear Katie if I'm the only one

How much longer will you be gone

Oh Katie won't ya tell me straight

How much longer do I have to wait

I'll believe you but please come through

I know it's wrong to be apart this long

You should be here near me

Katie's been gone and now her face

Is slowly fading from my mind

She's gone to find some newer places

Left the old life far behind

Dear Katie don't ya miss your home

I don't see why you had to roam

Dear Katie since you've been away

I lose a little something every day

I need you here but you're still out there

Dear Katie please drop me a line

Just write love to tell me you're fine

Oh Katie if you can hear me

I just can't wait to have you near me

I can only think where are you

What ya do maybe there's someone new
