    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?
