You've been gone so long"

I walk the floor and I watch the door
and when I lie awake and wonder where you can be,
I'd give anything to have you here with me.
I get so lonesome all alone."
She said: "Come in, stranger, and won't you listen to my plea.
Stay long enough, so that the one I love,
Is not a stranger to me.
