Lyrics Won't Be Back - Robbie Robertson

Won't Be Back

The letter that I sent to you
Was it lost in the mail
Then tell me why
There’s no reply
Where can she be tonight
As I lay here in the dark
And I reach for you
I long for you
But you’ve gone
Like the wind
And I know
That you won’t be back again
Pictures of days gone by
That you painted as a child
You gave to me
You saved for me
Where does she sleep tonight
Is she underneath a star
The healing grace
The secret place
That you’ve gone
Like the wind
And I know
That you won’t be back again
Look down from your ivory tower
That’s me standing in the mist
And I tried to hide
My broken pride
But you’ve gone
Like the wind
And I know
That you won’t be back again
