(I Won't Be) Leaving - Dave Alvin

It’s cold and you’re leaving

Midnight cars roll down the street

The streetlight shines in the gutter

And you going off to sleep

But baby I sit up smoking

Wipe the ashes off the bed

Think of what you told me

And the words I never said

I won’t be leaving

I won’t be leaving anymore

Now a police helicopter fly circles in the sky

When I ask myself baby

Could you believe just one more lie

And I sit up smoking

Wipe the ashes off the bed

Think of what you told me

And the words I never said

I won’t be leaving

I won’t be leaving anymore

And I see you sleeping our shoes on the floor

It would be so easy baby to slip out the door

But if you are awake girl

I swear I would tell you

That I won’t be leaving anymore

I hear sirens in the darkness

Tell sad stories in the night

Coulda been me caught red-handed

Coulda been me that lost the fight

But baby I sit up smoking

Wipe the ashes off the bed

Think of what you told me

And the words I never said

I won’t be leaving

I won’t be leaving anymore

I won’t be leaving

I won’t be leaving anymore

I won’t be leaving

I won’t be leaving
