NEVER LEFT

Alan Prosser / Ian Telfer
Universal Music Publishing Ltd 1992

First released on: Deserters, 1992

this was a lovely place
people say a perfect place
whatever it is he needs it now
whatever the poor man sets his heart on

those songs we sang so well
what we lost and how we fell
whatever it is he needs it now
whatever the poor man sets his heart on

I'm no Adam, you're no Eve
don't look back and never grieve
a wasted seed, a broken reed
it's what the poor man sets his heart on

and so we learn there's no return
only journeys to depart on
salt and dust, oil and rust
it's still the only garden

we never left the garden
