Sting - Never Coming Home Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken

And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken

Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers

And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers

There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour

And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower

As you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him

And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer

There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor

And you're torn if you should leave him with a number

And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away

Because too many of his promises got broken on the way

The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella

And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her

There's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today

She'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her

Now in her imagination she's a million miles away

When too many of his promises got broken on the way

So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say
