Won't Be Back Songtext
The letter that I sent to you
Was it lost in the mail?
Then tell me why there′s no reply?
Where can she be tonight?
As I lay here in the dark
And I reach for you, I long for you
But you've gone like the wind
And I know that you won′t be back again
Pictures of days gone by
That you painted as a child
You gave to me, you saved for me Where does she sleep tonight?
Is she underneath a star?
The healing grace, the secret place
But you've gone like the wind
And I know that you won't be back again
Oh, look down from your ivory tower
That′s me standing in the mist
And I tried to hide my broken pride
But you′ve gone like the wind
And I know that you won't be back again
Was it lost in the mail?
Then tell me why there′s no reply?
Where can she be tonight?
As I lay here in the dark
And I reach for you, I long for you
But you've gone like the wind
And I know that you won′t be back again
Pictures of days gone by
That you painted as a child
You gave to me, you saved for me Where does she sleep tonight?
Is she underneath a star?
The healing grace, the secret place
But you've gone like the wind
And I know that you won't be back again
Oh, look down from your ivory tower
That′s me standing in the mist
And I tried to hide my broken pride
But you′ve gone like the wind
And I know that you won't be back again
