Never Coming Back Lyrics by Michael Ball

This Time... It’s Personal

2000

There's a guy at the station and he's standing all alone
Got a battered old suitcase and a ragged coat on
A cold wind is blowing, got no shelter from the rain
And he swears that he's never coming back again

Never coming back, never coming back
Never coming back again
Nobody sees him in the cover of the night
Puts his hand in his pocket as he fumbles for a light
Which he uses for the cigarette, that helps to ease the pain
And he swears that he's never coming back again

All he wanted was a chance to live
Leave behind him all the misery
Starring faces with acusing eyes
All the sadness, all the vicious, vicious lies

He's longed for this moment since the day that he was born
He's longed for the time, when this feeling would be gone
A new life's beginning with the coming of the train
And he swears that he's never coming back again

Never coming back to this dirty little town
He's grown so tired of fighting everything he's ever known
He's gonna start a new life, things'll go on be the same
And he swears that he's never coming back again

All he wanted was a chance to live
Leave behind him all the misery
Starring faces with acusing eyes
All the sadness, all the vicious, vicious lies
Their vicious lies!

There's a guy at the station and he's standing all alone
Got a battered old suitcase and a ragged coat on
A cold wind is blowing, got no shelter from the rain
And he swears that he's never coming back again
And he swears that he's never coming back again
And he swears that he's never coming back again
