Lyrics - Everytime You Leave

I met her one stormy afternoon
I took her hand and led her in
She gave me all her gratitude
But it was a game I could not win

She she wasn't what I thought she was
She turned tail at the slightest chance
I never did learn the name of the one
Who stole me away from myself

Her name
Was nameless
Her name
I forgot long ago
I'm looking for her
Have you seen her
I want her now

I found her shivering in the snow
Once again I tried to bring her home
But she turned away from me again
She just could not want to be my own

See I never just could understand
Why she never wanted me to be her man
She did not accept what I thought
She did not accept what I wanted from her

Her name
Was nameless
Her name
I forgot long ago
I'm looking for her
Have you seen her
I want her now

She ran away
When I turned around
Just afraid
Of the turnabout
She never understood
What I wanted from her
Was not so hard
To understand
And her

Her name
Was nameless
Her name
I forgot long ago
I'm looking for her
Have you seen her
I want her now

Her name
Was nameless
Her name
I forgot long ago
I'm looking for her
Have you seen her
I want her now

I want her now
She's shivering in the snow
She's out on my doorstep
In the rain
Won't you help me please

Please
Please
