(won't Be) Coming Home Lyrics - Nothin' But Love - Robert Cray

As her car pulls out the driveway 

And she don't wave goodbye 

Her last words echo in my mind 

Listen honey, I gotta get away 

I'm standing here watching her tail lights 

As if they're some kind of sign 

Fading into a memory 

I just got tired of trying 

So long, I hate to see you go 

So I save my tears for later on down the road 

How come I keep I holding on 

Knowing you won't be coming home 

Two days later I get a letter 

A picture of a room in some hotel 

Sitting framed up on the table, 

A picture I know so well 

You've painted yourself into a corner 

Now you're trying to paint something new 

And your lipstick on the letter 

Is a goodbye kiss from you 

So long, I hate to see you go 

So I save my tears for later on down the road 

How come I keep I holding on 

Knowing you won't be coming home 

I still set the table 

Still set it for you and me 

It's become a habit 

My own personal make believe 

So long, I hate to see you go 

So I save my tears for later on down the road 

How come I keeW I holding on 

Knowing you won't be coming home 

So long, I hate to see you go 

So I save my tears for later on down the road 

How come I keep I holding on 

Knowing you won't be coming home
