You Will Return

It's a big, flat land
And it's right next door
Strong strong coffee
Pimps and whores

The heat comes down
Like a hundred suns
Girls with tans
Cops with guns

Oh Susannah
Don't you cry for me
Just come on home now
Across the cold green sea

Just come on home now
You look so pale
As the light is fading
I'll tell you my tale

The darkness gathers
Under the eaves
Listen while I tell you
That even if you leave

You will return
You will return, you will return

I had a soft white rope
Around your back
You took the weight
I took the slack

The rain still falls here
It holds me so
The way I held you
So long ago

I see the hot winds shake you
Like a leafless tree
Why can't you let them burn
And return to me

You will return
You will return, you will return
You will return, you will return
