Never Coming Home - Sting (史汀)[00:00:00]
Well it's five in the morning[00:00:00]
And the light's already broken[00:00:02]
And the rainy streets are empty[00:00:04]
For nobody else has woken[00:00:06]
Yet you turn towards the window[00:00:08]
As he sleeps beneath the covers[00:00:10]
And you wonder what he's dreaming[00:00:12]
In his slumbers[00:00:14]
There's a clock upon the table a[00:00:15]
Nd it's burning up the hour[00:00:17]
And you feel your life is shrinking[00:00:19]
Like the petals of a flower[00:00:21]
As you creep towards the closet[00:00:23]
You're so careful not to wake him[00:00:25]
And you choose the cotton dress[00:00:27]
You bought last summer[00:00:28]
There's a time of indecision[00:00:31]
Between the bedroom and the door[00:00:32]
But the part of you that knows t[00:00:34]
Hat you can't take it any more[00:00:36]
There's the promise of the future[00:00:38]
In the creaking of the floor[00:00:40]
And you're torn if you should[00:00:41]
Leave him with a number[00:00:43]
And in your imagination[00:00:46]
You're a thousand miles away[00:00:46]
Too many of his promises[00:00:49]
Got broken on the way[00:00:51]
So you write it in a letter[00:00:53]
All the things you couldn't say[00:00:55]
And you tell him that you're never coming home[00:00:57]
She starts running for the railway station[00:01:01]
Praying that her calculation's right[00:01:03]
And there's a train just waiting[00:01:05]
There to get her to the citty before night[00:01:06]
A place to sleep a place to stay[00:01:08]
Will get her through another day[00:01:10]
She'll take a job she'll find a friend [00:01:12]
She'll make a life that's better[00:01:14]
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella[00:01:16]
And there's nothing they can do[00:01:19]
For her there's nothing they can tell her[00:01:20]
There's nothing they could ever say[00:01:23]
Would change the way she feels today[00:01:25]
She'd live the life she'd always[00:01:27]
Dreamed if he had only let her[00:01:28]
Now in her imagination she's a million miles away[00:01:30]
When too many of his promises[00:01:34]
Got broken on the way[00:01:36]
So she wrote it in a letter[00:01:38]
All the things she couldn't say[00:01:40]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:01:41]
She told him she was never coming home[00:01:45]
I wake up in an empty bed a road[00:02:03]
Drill hammers in my head[00:02:05]
I call her name there's no reply [00:02:06]
It's not like her to let me lie[00:02:08]
It's time for work it's time to go [00:02:10]
But something's different I don't know[00:02:12]
I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better[00:02:14]
I stumble to the bathroom door [00:02:18]
Her make up bag is on the floor[00:02:19]
It really is a mess this place [00:02:21]
It takes some time to shave my face[00:02:23]
I'm not really thinking straight [00:02:25]
She never lets me sleep this late[00:02:27]
I'm almost done and then I see her letter[00:02:29]
In his imagination she's a universe away[00:02:32]
Too many of his promises got broken on the way[00:02:36]
So she wrote it in a letter[00:02:40]
All the things she couldn't say[00:02:42]
She told him she was never coming home[00:02:43]
She told him she was never coming home[00:02:47]
And she told him she was never coming home[00:02:51]
