He'll Come Back To Me
Marianne Faithfull · Marianne Faithfull [2008]
What I hear,
Or can I have been deceived ?
Voices singing,
Bells are ringing,
They say
He'll come back to me.
Though he's gone,
In my sleep
As if he were here with me,
He'll be back now,
I can tell now,
You'll see,
He'll come back to me.
Once more, once more,
Tell me that he's still sure.
I know, I know
That he loves me much more
And I'll be here waiting
Until he comes back to me.
There's one thing
You should know:
Just how much I love him so.
Though he hurt me,
He won't desert me,
And now
He'll come back to me.
Once more, once more,
Tell me that he's still sure.
I know, I know
That he loves me much more
And I'll be here waiting
Until he comes back to me.
There's one thing
You should know:
Just how much I love him so.
Though he hurt me,
He won't desert me,
And now
He'll come back to me.
So you see,
Patiently
I'll be waiting here for his call.
Voices singing,
Church bells ringing
To say
He's come back to me.
