Robbie Robertson Lyrics

"Won't Be Back" lyrics


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
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
