Back in Town

( listen)

I'm back in town
and I don't know why
but I'm back in town
Since we said goodbye
I don't know why I do what I do
but I couldn't stay that far away from you

I'm back in town
though I said I was gone for good
I'm back in town
and I find myself in your neighbourhood
and I feel like a fool
but the humidity seemed to carry me back to you

The trickle of a tear
etched in my mind
won't disappear
can't be erased by time
It seems to stay in place
half-fallen down your face
like the words I spoke too softly
for you to hear

I'm back in town
and I can't even fool myself
I'm back in town
there will never be nobody else
and I know that it's true
my tranquility is dependent on being with you
