Whenever light shines down on misery   It can only make things worse   On the day we met she burned so bright   I was lucky as a gypsy curse      Well she was blushing like a wedding day   With her eyes so sharp and black   And her gentle little smile   Was the color of blood   And she's never ever coming back      Now let me tell you:   I've been up since a quarter to three   And I've been pacing back and forth   Through the hall   I've been thinking 'bout the first time   She took my hand   And I don't understand it at all      Whatever hopes I once kept safe & sound   In a locker underneath my bed   Whatever thoughts I once kept to myself   Are drowned out and dead      Because she sounded like a symphony   When she simply said my name   And the long blue days   That once were hers   Are long now just the same      In the hallway hangs a photograph   On her hand, a diamond ring   She mailed it with a little note   She nailed it to the edge of my wing      I have burned out every sympathy   And the house is still and black   But now I've seen my misery   And she's never ever coming back
