Never Coming Home - Sting (史汀)[00:00:00]
Written by:Sting[00:00:00]
Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken[00:00:14]
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken[00:00:18]
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers[00:00:22]
And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers[00:00:26]
There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour[00:00:29]
And you feel your life is shrinking[00:00:33]
Like the petals of a flower[00:00:35]
As you creep towards the closet[00:00:37]
You're so careful not to wake him[00:00:38]
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer[00:00:41]
There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door[00:00:44]
But the part of you that[00:00:48]
Knows that you can't take it any more[00:00:49]
There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor[00:00:52]
And you're torn if you should leave him with a number[00:00:56]
And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away[00:01:00]
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way[00:01:03]
So you write it in a letter[00:01:07]
All the things you couldn't say[00:01:09]
And you tell him that you're never coming home[00:01:11]
She starts running for the railway station[00:01:15]
Praying that her calculation's right[00:01:17]
And there's a train just waiting there[00:01:19]
To get her to the city before night[00:01:20]
A place to sleep a place to stay will[00:01:22]
Get her through another day[00:01:24]
She'll take a job she'll find a friend[00:01:26]
She'll make a life that's better[00:01:28]
The passengers ignore her just a girl[00:01:30]
With an umbrella[00:01:32]
And there's nothing they can do for her[00:01:33]
There's nothing they can tell her[00:01:35]
There's nothing they could ever say[00:01:37]
Would change the way she feels today[00:01:39]
She'd live the life she'd always dreamed[00:01:41]
If he had only let her imagination she's a million miles away[00:01:43]
When too many of his promises got broken on the way[00:01:48]
So she wrote it in a letter[00:01:52]
All the things she couldn't say[00:01:53]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:01:56]
She told him she was never coming home[00:01:59]
I wake up in an empty bed a road[00:02:17]
Drill hammers in my head[00:02:19]
I call her name there's no reply[00:02:20]
It's not like her to let me lie[00:02:22]
It's time for work it's time to go[00:02:24]
But something's different I don't know[00:02:26]
I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better[00:02:28]
I stumble to the bathroom door[00:02:32]
Her make up bag is on the floor[00:02:33]
It really is a mess this place[00:02:35]
It takes some time to shave my face[00:02:37]
I'm not really thinking straight[00:02:39]
She never lets me sleep this late[00:02:41]
I'm almost done and then I see the letter[00:02:43]
In his imagination she's a universe away[00:02:47]
Too many of his promises got broken on the way[00:02:50]
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say[00:02:53]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:02:57]
She told him she was never coming home[00:03:01]
She told him she was never coming home[00:03:05]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:15]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:17]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:03:18]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:22]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:24]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:03:26]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:30]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:32]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:03:33]
I'm gonna live my life[00:03:45]
I'm gonna live my life in my own[00:03:47]
