They used to walk down Saint Charles Avenue
Under the light of a crescent city moon
Balconies are covered with ivy and half-dead fern
Wondering what happened to the ones who never returned
Nobody showed for work, they closed the doors on Café Lafreniere
Where the bar was always open with a laugh and a bottle of cheer
Some people stubborn and some have finally learned
Whatever happened to the ones who never returned?
Memories are fading like that seven-foot waterline
Living in the back of an old white Econoline
Seems like those who need the most are the ones who always get burned
And I think about the ones who never returned
The congregation prays for an answer to what they feel
Not even God can take the place of a warm bed and hot meal
Even the most wretched of hearts are in full yearn
Longing to be with the ones who never returned
Fools believe in hope when nothing but hope remains
Though I understand the longing to come home on that morning train
Don't want to judge or speak harshly out of turn
But I just can't blame the ones who never returned
I feel nothing but concern
Wondering what happened to the ones the ones who never returned
