Comes As No Surprise Lyrics - Mansun

In the sand you used to lay 

You'd be there at my side 

As the night fell on the shore 

She had gone 

I trusted to you to stay 

Read the story in the papers 

Of a lover who had gone 

Think that she has moved away 

No one heard from her at all 

For years 

Someone must have heard her leave 

Saw something 

Get a job or get a place 

All these questions made 

No sense to me 

Comes as no surprise 

Stay with me tonight 

Said you'd never leave 

Pray that you are safe 

Comes as no surprise 

Stay with me tonight 

Stay with me tonight 

Every year I will return 

And briefly you are there 

And you always look the same 

Nothing changes 

Must have been the breeze 

You have shot me to the bone 

And ripped me up again 

Was the cruelest thing to do 

Came as no surprise 

To me 

Met a soldier from the war 

Stole her things 

Died alone a junkie 

I still wait for you 

I know you're safe 

Comes as no surprise 

Stay with me tonight 

Said you'd never leave 

Pray that you are safe 

Comes as no surprise 

Stay with me tonight 

Stay with me tonight 

Stay with me tonight
