"Bach In Town" lyrics

I see you're back in town
You've been on my mind so much lately
Thought it could very well be
Someone else would turn around
But then I saw your face
Holy mother of grace
I quit this place

And from the confines of my car
I learned that I could drive considerably far
To avoid surprises
Silence suffices
Even though I've wondered these days
About how it would go
And what we would say
Something in me advises
To leave you to your own devices
Though I don't know

If I'll see you again

I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask
I'll never ask you
You'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say
You'll never have to
I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask
I'll never ask you
You'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say
You'll never have to

I had drafted something sweet
From the memories of jokes we'd tell
Places we'd meet
Took the draft out on walks
Try it out
Show it around
Show it off

And from the corner of my mind
Came a distant thought
I felt it climb up to my attention
Steer my intentions
And for many weeks in a row
I thought I should reach out, say
"I want you to know I'm not mad
I want to be friendly
If you're around
Would you please tell me
'Cause I would love
To see you again"

I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask
I'll never ask you
You'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say
You'll never have to
I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask
I'll never ask you
You'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say
You'll never have to
I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask, I'll never ask
I'll never ask you
You'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say, you'll never say
You'll never have to
