No-one comes back the same.


No-one comes back the same.

1- I left you in late December and I did not look back.

You were so beautiful, so kind.

We made no promises and I saw in your eyes.

A silence goodbye.

We knew, once we wanted more and now. We wanted nothing.

No-one can return the sweetest places; time steal the kindest memories away.

No-one comes back to the place they left.

2- Once I ran to you and you ran to me.

We held love tightly and we needed more.

You were the prettiest gal in Michigan and I was a soldier.

I left you alone in Michigan and I had the soldier life.

Drink, seeking new cities and new war.

Somewhere in time. We forgot promises, we forgot where loved lived.

I called from South American and I told you.

Dear Jenny, I volunteered for three more years. I am not coming home for a while.

Dear Jenny told me. You love the soldier life. Drink, the dance and the wild women.

You need new cities and you want to test your soul. Dear Johnnie,

a soldier life is a lonely life and I miss you.

We said our final goodbye and I told her.

Thank you dear Jenny for showing me, I was alive.

10 years later I saw Jenny and a child walking in her yard, and I sat in my car.

Soft tears falling and I told the morning.

No-one comes back the same and we cannot return from where we left.

John
