The Ones Who Never Returned

作曲：Brian Herbert Stoltz

作词：Brian Herbert Stoltz

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
