Never Come Back Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Well I came to this land where the snow and the sand 

Cover my footprints with ice 

The cool gray sea calls me "come and be free" 

And I almost take that advice 

And in the night I cling to the names 

Of the women I wanted and the men that I blamed 

And their scorn that scorches my tracks 

One thing I know you can never come back 

Oh darling please meet me in the dark empty streets 

Won't you bring me the things that I need 

No-one is waiting where she used to stand 

Just the jagged thorns of the weed 

And in the day they drink their hot wine 

And I long for the things that can never be mine 

So your pretty clothes do not unpack 

As plain as the day you can never come back
