Sting - Never Coming Home (2011 Mix)(2011)

[00:00.60] Well, it's five in the morning and the light's already broken
[00:04.57] And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
[00:08.02] You turn towards the window, as he sleeps beneath the covers
[00:12.04] And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers
[00:15.66] There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour
[00:19.31] And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
[00:23.11] You creep towards the closet, you're so careful not to wake him
[00:26.95] You choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
[00:30.71] There's a time of indecision 'tween the bedroom and the door
[00:34.45] There's a part of you that knows that you can't take it any more
[00:38.23] There's a promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
[00:41.78] And you're torn if you should leave him with a number
[00:45.52] In your imagination, you're a thousand miles away
[00:49.23] Too many of his promises got broken on the way
[00:53.22] So you write it in a letter, all the things you couldn't say
[00:56.73] And you tell him that you're never coming home
[01:00.81] She starts running for the railway station
[01:02.65] Praying that her calculation's right
[01:04.79] There's a train just waiting there, to get her to the city before night
[01:08.50] A place to sleep, a place to stay, will get her through another day
[01:11.98] She'll take a job, she'll find a friend, she'll make a life that's better
[01:16.08] The passengers ignore her, just a girl with an umbrella
[01:19.56] And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her
[01:22.74] Nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
[01:27.09] She'd live the life she'd always dreamed, if he had only let her
[01:30.25] Now in her imagination, she's a million miles away
[01:34.51] Too many of his promises got broken on the way
[01:38.39] So she wrote it in a letter, all the things she couldn't say
[01:42.06] And she told him she was never coming home
[01:45.73] She told him she was never coming home
[01:50.13]
[02:02.62] I wake up in an empty bed, a road drill hammers in my head
[02:06.44] I call her name there's no reply, it's not like her to let me lie
[02:10.29] It's time for work it's time to go, but something's different I don't know
[02:14.04] I need a cup of coffee, I'll feel better
[02:17.99] I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
[02:21.44] It really is a mess this place, it takes some time to shave my face
[02:25.14] I'm not really thinking straight, she never lets me sleep this late
[02:28.99] I'm almost done, and then I see the letter
[02:32.69] In his imagination, she's a universe away
[02:36.45] Too many of his promises got broken on the way
[02:40.25] So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say
[02:43.72] And she told him she was never coming home
[02:47.54] She told him she was never coming home
[02:51.46] She told him she was never coming home
[02:55.83]
[03:00.66] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[03:04.56] (And she told him she was never coming home)
[03:08.20] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[03:11.76] (And she told him she was never coming home)
[03:15.70] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[03:18.99] (And she told him she was never coming home)
[04:23.46] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[04:28.61]
[04:30.98] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[04:36.01]
[04:38.27] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[04:43.39]
[04:45.92] I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my life
[04:49.43] She told him she was never coming home, ooh
[04:56.77] Well, she told him she was never coming home
[05:01.05]
[05:08.47] She told him she was never coming home
[05:10.39]
