I was searching through the record section
Of a shop in Birmingham
Trying to forget the news
But you know how things sometimes are
The fates conspire to
Remind you
No Return was its title
No Return like Id said
No Return, those searing words
Burning in my head
Id come across a compilation
Called Blues in a Minor Chord
As though you were there behind me
Id turned it over to read the sleeve notes,
Credits in a daze
And a chill came up my spine
No Return was its title
No Return like youd said
No Return, those piercing words
Tattered in my head
And Id said,
The pain of being together
Is more than being apart
I thought of you all December long
And now its a New Years start
The loneliness of walking by your side
Is more than walking alone
Its why Im leaving
I let out a hollow howling
Falling terribly
Like wind escaping from a tube
I think they call it coincidence
Or something like deja vu
You never believe it til it happens to you
No Return was its title
No Return like wed said
No Return, like icicles
Falling through our heads
And Id said,
The pain of being together
Is more than being apart
I thought of you all December long
And now its a New Years start
The loneliness of walking by your side
Is more than walking alone
Its why Im leaving
Its why Im leaving
Its why Im leaving
Its why Im leaving...
