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….

How I’d like to take her outside Under bad light, blind drunk, doe eyed But I’m no good for her No, I’m no good for her Fingers sliding up and down her legs Tidal waves, hurricanes, avalanches in my head But I’m no good for her No, I’m no good for her I’m no good […]
I have a letter, familiar paper I keep a figurine in a locket It's dedicated, engraved initials Yellow photograph in a pocketbook Well the rim of her mouth was golden Her eyes were just desert sands But that's not her That's just the light It's only an image of her It's just a trick of […]
