Never Be Back

She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back

I was afraid
that I was running down, running down, running down the line
You were afraid
that I would never find, never find, never find the time
Just two kinds of people the mad and the blue
Drifting between 'em or heading straight through
See so many faces just looking at yours
One called me a scoundrel, one called me a boy
One said I was crazy to love like I did
That ain't to mention the one that you hid
That ain't to mention the one that you hid

A face like a myth and it's soft like the sea
Can't see your eyes when you're looking at me
Blade to the blade just to sharpen the truth
I know your eyes so much better than you
Mirrors ain't nothing, they're backwards for you
In photos they're flattened you know that it's true
I know exactly the shade of the blue
I know exactly the shade of the blue

She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back

Between your two lips I can feel it inside
Collapsed in the stairway just heading outside
No one's ambition is blind to the sun
Can keep up for now but can't keep it for long
Round about midnight the first that I knew
Staring at me with those oh so blue
Hot sweat in August no condoms that time
Said don't come inside me it shattered my mind
Smiled and kissed me and drifted asleep
Streetlight was pouring all over the sheets
Walking to work nothing under your dress
I still live in that summer babe I must confess
Now independent yes truly you are
Used to be free now convinced by the stars
Not so much science but pseudo it seems
Leaves so much room for my memories and dreams
Not making a case for you or for trying
But there's energy swiftly defying the silence

She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back

It was never easy
It was never like that
Always leaving in the morning
But she was always coming back

She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
She's my woman and she loved me so fine
She'll never be back, never be back
Never be back
Never be back
Never be back
Never be back
Never be back
