Lyrics
Never On The Day You Leave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No, it's never on the day you leave
That you wonder what you still believe in
And you can't remember why you said goodbye
You'll hear an old familiar sound
And hope it's her when you turn around
But never, never on the day you leave
Love grows in the time it's been
Since you last heard her sing
She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
She don't owe you anything
No, it's never on the day you leave
You can tell how it's gonna be
To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
You wish you'd given her one more kiss
To put away for a night like this
But never, never on the day you leave
Love grows in the time it's been
Since you last held her hand
She'll fight for you like hell
Then force herself to like some other man
No, it's never on the day you leave
That you remember Christmas Eve
And all the things you miss about her crazy family
You'll know how lonely it is to see
A little drug store Christmas tree
But never, never on the day you leave
No, never, never on the day you leave
So maybe it'd be better off to write her
And leave a little note right there beside her
That says maybe we're not perfect
But I'll be damned if I ever leave
Damned if I ever leave
Damned if I ever leave
