You may try the find command

Code:
find $HOME -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

or

Code:
ls -ltcR $HOME | awk '/^\// {dir=substr($0,1,length($0)-1)} /^-/{$9=dir"/"$9;print}'

This might also be helpful to you.
Code:
ls -ltcR $HOME | grep -v "^total" | grep -v "^\/" | grep -v "^$"

Whenever you find yourself doing grep | grep | grep | grep | grep, it's time to learn awk:

Code:
ls -ltcR $HOME | awk '!/^total/ && !/\// && !/^$/'

Try
Code:
ls -tlcR | awk '/^total|^$/ {next} NF==1 {D=$1} {$9=D $9; sub (":","/",$9)} 1'
