Beverley Knight Awol Lyrics

Awol Lyrics

Written By Knight/McIntosh



I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave 



In life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya

And how it's good to be alone sometimes

I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on me

And runaway when day turned into night



Cuz you're a good time sister, always out for something better

Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave

Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better

Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave



So many people that I found say they're down with ya

Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze

See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em

They fall around you like the winter leaves



A little rain and they would run for cover (I can still remember)

When no one else could see the need to shelter (How could I forget?)

And knowing better times were round the corner (O I can still remember) 

So now when summer skies turn into grey, here's what I say



Chorus (x2)



I never hear I never see you 

I never hear I never see you no more (x3)



Chorus (x3)
