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
