Never Coming Back - Delta Rae

I don’t talk about you much

But I love it when your name comes up

In conversation

Back at home

Playing records

We both know

The county fair

The plastic chairs

The reason that we brought them there

The sky was lighting up in red and white

But all the blue was in your eyes

I did everything I could think of

To make you not want to leave

I did everything I could think of

To make you not want to leave me crying

But oh you ain’t ever coming back

The trail’s gone cold, can’t follow your tracks

Oh you ain’t ever coming back to me

No

And oh now and I’m running in the wind

I’m wishing I could hold your hand again

But oh you ain’t ever coming back to me

But oh a girl can dream

Cherry wine

And dandelions

Pops against the green

It’s all a show

But I don’t mind it makes me smile

If only for a little while

Another drink another mile

The winter snows

The kudzu grows

And nothing’s as it seems

No one can see

The names I carved

In underneath

The sapling trees

Are hardening

I did everything I could think of

To make you not want to leave me crying

But oh you ain’t ever coming back

The trail’s gone cold, can’t follow your tracks

Oh you ain’t ever coming back to me

No

And oh now and I’m running in the wind

I’m wishing I could hold your hand again

But no you ain’t ever coming back to me

But oh a girl can dream

A girl can dream

My friends all ask but I don’t know

Where you went or why you’d go

The summer breeze is dying now

Just like the boys who taught us how to love

But I don’t talk about you much
