A.W.O.L.

Taken From 'Prodigal Sista' Beverley Knight
I
never see you anymore, you're absent without leave
In
life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya
And how it's good to be alone sometimes
I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on
me
And runaway when day turned into night
Cuz
you're a good time sister, always out for something better
Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave
Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better
Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave
So
many people that I found say they're down with ya
Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze
See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em
They fall around you like the winter leaves
A
little rain and they would run for cover (I can still remember)
When no one else could see the need to shelter (How could I
forget?)
And knowing better times were round the corner (O I can still
remember)
So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say
Chorus
(x2)
I
never hear I never see you
I never hear I never see you no more (x3)
Chorus (x3)
