Katie’s Been Gone Bob Dylan & The Band

Katie's been gone since the spring time
She wrote one time'n 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 (somewhere)

Katie laughed when I said I was lonely
She said, there's no need t'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 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
And left the old life far behind
