Katie's 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 don't know how things are with us I'm still here and you're out there (somewhere) 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 want to stay Dear Katie, if I am 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 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, 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 --- Katie's Been Gone - The Band and Bob Dylan
