This is a straightforward, sardonic lament about the transient nature of love. With a lively, Cajun feel, a CSNY chorus and a whistle solo. |

Story Behind the Song
I was on my way back down the A9 to Edinburgh after a Festival. My girlfriend had just left me and my best friend was asleep in the back of the car. This song just came to me then and there.
Lyrics
I can take myself a trip back down the highway
To the village where I played when I was young
There's a rope still hanging from the beech tree
That's the same rope upon which as kids we swung
And there's a path that meanders by the river
I've retraced my footsteps there a many a while
And I've traced with my finger on the window
The outline of my memory of your smile
There's no way back to you
No matter what I do
There's no way back to you
When you say that we are through
Of all the books that are stored upon my bookshelf
You can hand me down whichever particular one
And the words remain the same upon the pages
Chapter seven, section three, page sixty one
And here's a poem that I wrote when I was twenty
I can still recall exactly what it meant
A single glance, the circumstance is quite remembered
A broken heart, a fresh new start, a passion spent
Sacrificing love for business
I'm losing money on the deal
Tying a "not" into our is-ness
How do you think that makes me feel?
There's no way back to you
No matter what I do
There's no way back to you
When you say that we are through
There's no way back to you
No matter what I do
There's no way back to you
Oh is it really, really true?
