Never Coming Home Lyrics - Sacred Love - Sting

Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken 

And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken 

Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers 

And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers 

There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour 

And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower 

As you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him 

And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer 

There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door 

But the part of you that knows that you can't take it any more 

There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor 

And you're torn if you should leave him with a number 

And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away 

Because too many of his promises got broken on the way 

So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn't say 

And you tell him that you're never coming home

She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's right 

And there's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night 

A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day 

She'll take a job she'll find a friend she'll make a life that's better 

The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella 

And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her 

There's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today 

She'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her 

Now in her imagination she's a million miles away 

When too many of his promises got broken on the way 

So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say 

And she told him she was never coming home 

She told him she was never coming home 

I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head 

I call her name there's no reply it's not like her to let me lie 

It's time for work it's time to go but something's different I don't know 

I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better 

Photos 

I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor 

It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face 

I'm not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late 

I'm almost done and then I see the letter 

In his imagination she's a universe away 

Too many of his promises got broken on the way 

So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say 

And she told him she was never coming home, 

She told him she was never coming home, 

She told him she was never coming home 

I'm gonna live my life 

And she told him she was never coming home 

I'm gonna live my life in my own way
