Mansun - Comes as No Surprise lyrics

rate me

In the sand you used to lay

You'd be there at my side

As the night fell on the shore

She had gone

I trusted to you to stay

Read the story in the papers

Of a lover who had gone

Think that she has moved away

No one heard from her at all

For years

Someone must have heard her leave

Saw something

Get a job or get a place

All these questions made

No sense to me

Comes as no surprise

Stay with me tonight

Said you'd never leave

Pray that you are safe

Comes as no surprise

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight

Every year I will return

And briefly you are there

And you always look the same

Nothing changes

Must have been the breeze

You have shot me to the bone

And ripped me up again

Was the cruelest thing to do

Came as no surprise

To me

Met a soldier from the war

Stole her things

Died alone a junkie

I still wait for you

I know you're safe

Comes as no surprise

Stay with me tonight

Said you'd never leave

Pray that you are safe

Comes as no surprise

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight
