The Point Of No Return

Up on the balcony
I watched you walk away but I couldn't see
That this parting kiss was forever
Oh come back to me
Yet another summer without you
Soon fall will be there
But comes winter I guess i'll be over in Cornwall somewhere.

I try walking in our footsteps
These days passing in a time lapse
I went through anger, hate and frustration
Searching for some kind of revocation
We couldn't fail?
How did it happen?
For a dare?
Everything's shattered
Darkness embrace me
I'm misplaced here
This is the wrong score
Stranded on a strange shore.

The way we were
Our hearts were beating together til something occured
Now you're up there somewhere in Scotland
I'm left in midair
Guess I'm waiting for your return eternally
But comes the end of December
Let it rain down on me.

What have we found?
Just a rebound
Was it worth the price we paid?
What have we gained after these strains?
Remember Penzance Promenade?
What's the truth?
The importance of who's right or wrong
I don't care
We've been fooling around for too long
Much too long, my Love.

The point of no return on our way home.

Each day my heart is gettin' colder
The burden's heavy on my shoulder
Over and over I see the same scene
Trapped in a nightmare not just a bad dream
Couldn't run coz I was petrified
Tried to swallow my foolish pride
Cities lost forever so it seems
Missing you so much it makes me wanna scream.

Last night I had a dream
Me flying high above the sea in the sky
With my arms wide open dazzling clouds passing by
And the mermaids' song guiding me on my way
To the coastline with its white cliffs of chalk and clay.

I'm trying hard to keep my eyes shut
The things I see they are not clear-cut
Tryin' to get you out of my mind
Fuck off, you left me behind
This time there'll be no substitution
Just like with former dissolutions
Occupying my heart
Now pack your things and run
Because everything's said and done.

A saturday back in September
The golden sunlight in your eyes
This day I always will remember
You were the fairest of all brides.

The sun has gone
We're on our own
Our paradise a fragile dream
A void is calling and I'm falling
Into time's adamant stream
Called your name into the night but you're gone
All forgone
Not a flame will arise from the embers at dawn
No more dawn, my Love.

The point of no return on our way home.

Come to me across the sea.
