Album: Conquest (1980)

No Return

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn - both ends
There's a lesson we both can learn - this time
So if you wanna make my day
There's something you've gotta say
Now please don't laugh and turn away - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
And I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time

No return -
So there'll be no turning back once I know that you'll be by my side
No return -
Maybe you'll give me all the love that you always felt you had to hide
No return -
I've come a thousand miles across the ocean
But that ain't half as far as my emotion
And now I reached the point of no return

While on my way down the avenue
I had to stop for a drink or two - or three
Now not that I was stalling you - for time
It's just I wanted to feel my best
And I almost passed the test
I need your lovin' to do the rest - this time

No return -
So please don't ever do what you've done so many times before
No return -
Because I've made up my mind that this time I'll make it thru your door
No return -
I rode above the clouds so far below me
But didn't get as high as when you hold me
And now I've reached the point of no return

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn - both ends
There's a lesson we both can learn - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time
