I lived in a story I didn’t believe
I didn’t know how it ended
But I always thought I could leave

It took me a long time
Took me through some strange turns
But like a fool I sang along

All down the song of no return
Through the song of no return
I sang along
All down the song of no return
The song of no return

I heard the river say
“Young boy, you may dive deep in me
I am cold, my banks are wide
Hey, you can swim the length of me”
I should have dipped my fingers in
But I was young enough to think
That I was strong

Into the song of no return
Against the song of no return
I swam along
Into the song of no return
The song of no return

It was perfect at the moment
Just before it all went wrong
Buddy, never confuse your life
With a Country-Western song
Once you leave
You can’t go home
There’s something stronger
Takes you where you wish you’d never gone

Somewhere down the song of no return
Deep in the song of no return
And then beyond
Down the song of no return
The song of no return

We shared a bed above a shop
Beneath the arms of a railway car
We wrote a song upon our sheets
Sang it out up and down the streets
And although my voice was cracked
I thought no voice could sing it back
But I was wrong

All down the song of no return
All down the song of no return
I heard this song
A million voices all were worn
A million voices all were torn
Still they sang on
Still they sang on….
