 |  | 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.
 LyricsI 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?
