She's Not Coming Back Songtext
von Cousteau

The orchard′s golden leaves are burning down
Fires closing in
The fruit is blistering above you
How can such a pleasure be
Regarded as a sin?

A ray of sun limps slowly 'round the room
Wolves are at the door
Baying for their pound of flesh
But he′s gone and it's impossible
To hurt you anymore

The circle in the sky
She's sick of holding back the tide
She pulls the darkness shut behind her
And says goodnight

Oh, she′s not coming back


I wish that you were here once more with me
In the night somewhere
Loveless days and grey-eyed mornings
Pass beneath the window of another dreary day

The circle in the sky
She′s sick of holding back the tide
She pulls the darkness shut behind her
And says goodnight

Oh, she's not coming back

Oh, oh, oh, she′s not coming back

The circle in the sky
She's sick of holding back the tide
She pulls the darkness shut behind her
And says goodnight

Oh, she′s not coming back

The circle in the sky
She's sick of holding back the tide
She pulls the darkness shut behind her
And says goodnight

Oh, she′s not coming back
