River Of No Return
Terry Kelly

Water risin? and rain full Force, riverboat on a reckless course, all the gamblers goin? for broke
Though the heat and the sweat and the smoke, but what have they all got to lose
Only these gamblers blues, only these gamblers who never learn, down the river of no return

[Chorus]
Down the river of no return, lies an ocean of hard lessons learned
Past the long line of bridges that burn down the river of no return

Rush of the wind like a run a ? way train, subway screams out a wild refrain
Lonely child on a city street, mother waits on a window seat, She?s been waiting there for so long
Waiting for love to come home, but love?s not a goin? concern, down the river of no return

[Chorus]
Down the river of no return, lies an ocean of hard lessons learned
Past the long line of bridges that burn down the river of no return

Ever wonder whose hand is on the wheel, ever wonder who negotiates the deals
Ever ask yourself why, ever ask yourself why

Had a friend who had all he required, had a lover with eyes on fire, a love that was pure from the start
Except for that restless heart, cause restless hearts always betray, somehow they get swept away
To a place where love?s fires won?t burn, down the river of no return

[Chorus]
Down the river of no return, lies an ocean of hard lessons learned
Past the long line of bridges that burn down the river of no return

Nana na no
