Текст песни
Well its 5 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 your 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
And the passengers ignore
her just a girl with an umbrella
There's nothing they can do for
her there's nothing they can tell her
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
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
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
But 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
I’m gonna live my life in my own way
