Never Be Back

(album: New Ways - 2019)

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

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 blue
I know exactly the shade of 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
Keep up for now
But can't keep it for long
'Round about midnight
The first that I knew
Staring at me with those of 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, never, never, never
