Jackopierce - Back Next Year lyrics

Allison sits by the window and wonders Exactly when he will return He left in November she can hardly remember He said he'd be back real soon It's now June And Allison wonders if her three children Will ever see their father again The early morning gas put the wind in his sails As he left them for the sea once again He is now gone, maybe for long Now every night she sits on the rooftop, Hoping his ship she'll see clear. She remembers his whisper as he knelt down to kiss her, He'd said "You know I'll be back next year". I'll be back, I'll be back. Back next year, Back next year. Allison and her son and women they gather In their sea sprayed shingled homes. They try not speak of the man they're missing, Together but they're still alone. And Allison tries hard to contain her feelings But they see her crying she fears. They put their arms life and heard heart saying "You know he'll be Back Next Year." I'll be back, I'll be back. Back next year, Back next year. After seven months of sailing has left her to wonder If the sea has taken her man. Through all of the waiting the pain's not abating. It's something she can no longer stand. She turns from the horizon to put down the children Wiping the last of her tears. He's standing their with his children all around him he says "I told you I'd be back This Year." I'll be back, I'll be back. Back next year, Back next year. I'll be back, I'll be back. Back next year, Back next year.
