![Sting – <p><span style="color: #252525;">British rock musician and actor, leader of The Police in 1976-1984. Since 1984 he has been performing solo.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The musician was born on October 2, 1951 in the port town of Wallsend in the north of England.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Ernest's father Matthew Sumner worked for many years as a fitter at a local engineering company. He later bought a small dairy shop. As a child, Sting often helped his father deliver milk in the morning.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Audrey's mother worked as a hairdresser and nurse. She had a classical music education and was able to develop her son's natural abilities by teaching him to play the piano at home. Gordon was the eldest of four children in the family. He also has younger sisters Anita, Angela and brother Philip.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1977 drummer Stuart Copeland, guitarist Andy Summers and Sting formed The Police. The first two singles, "Fall Out" and "Roxanne", were unsuccessful until they were heard by entrepreneur Miles Copeland (Stewart's older brother). Released in April 1979, "Roxanne" rose to number 12 in Britain and became a European hit. The first success was followed by the albums "Reggatta de Blanc", "Zenyattà Mondatta", "Ghost in the Machine" and "Synchronicity" (with the mega-hit "Every Breath You Take"). After a triumphant world tour in 1984, Sting decided that he had achieved everything he could with the group, and the group disbanded at the peak of its popularity.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Sting's independent career was no less successful. His first album with jazz elements, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, went platinum. The single from this album was the song “Russians”.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1987, after a tour with The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Sting recorded an album ... Nothing Like the Sun / The song "They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)" was especially popular. The Soul Cages (1991), which coincided with the loss of his parents, and Ten Summoner's Tales (1993) introduced Sting as a mature composer.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1991 Sting released the autobiographical album The Soul Cages, from which the single "All This Time" took the fifth place in the top 100 of the Billboard magazine. He continues in that vein with Ten Summoner's Tales, which includes hits like If I Ever Lose My Faith in You and Fields of Gold. Mercury Falling was not as successful as Ten Summoner's Tales, but The title track from his new album Brand New Day proved that Sting is still capable of producing hits.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The events of September 11, 2001, deeply affected Sting. Recorded in the first half of 2003 in Paris, the album "Sacred Love" bears a clear imprint of the events in the world at that time. Sting's lyrics touch upon the themes of war, religion, understanding and misunderstanding, but the main theme, as the album title suggests, was still love. The song "Send Your Love" from this album brought Sting another Grammy nomination.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">At the end of May 2013, Sting's official website announced the recording of the new album The Last Ship, which was released on September 24 of the same year [3]. This disc became the musician's first studio album in the last ten years.</span></p> – Стинг](/avatar/1/0/10ae2be81fbe87d45e09ac885a754174_40x40){kind=small}
Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers
And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers
There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
As you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
But the part of you that knows that you can't take it any more
There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
And you're torn if you should leave him with a number
And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way
So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn't say
And you tell him that you're never coming home
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's right
And there's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night
A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day
She'll take a job she'll find a friend she'll make a life that's better
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her
There's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
She'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her
Now in her imagination she's a million miles away
When too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say
And she told him she was never coming home
She told him she was never coming home
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head
I call her name there's no reply it's not like her to let me lie
It's time for work it's time to go but something's different I don't know
I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face
I'm not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
I'm almost done and then I see the letter
In his imagination she's a universe away
Too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say
And she told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home
I'm gonna live my life
And she told him she was never coming home
I'm gonna live my life in my own way
