No Return

No Return

(Dennis Small / Christian Nóvé)

All the years - the hours, I was true
Your direction - all the words were new
You gave me the spirit and taught the magic way
I was always your servant - with no home to stay

Alone at the world’s backdoor
Watching and wanting some more.
No secret pleasure stays in me
Close the door and turn the key

NO RETURN (but fires somehow burn)
NO RETURN (there’s nothing left to learn)
In the loneliness the shadows cry in turn
...
In the emptiness of space that we all earn.

The whole day - ‘s only seen the deepest night
Walk safely - thru dreams and see the light
Only in grayness, can we really see ourselves
Our wishes - they lined up
Like the books on a shelf.

Alone at the world’s black door
Watching and wanting some more.
No secret pleasure stays in me
Close the door and turn the key

... Chorus

Some dance in space - but close the door
Who sees green eyes on the floor
Chance has a face - but it’s not fair
Aliens can be everywhere !

I never see you in the day, but only late at night
You walk thru my nightmares, bringing them to light
Only in this grayness - will we see us in the end
Don’t you see - my dreams are clear -
And pure like the wind.

No secrets - no desires shall stay buried in you.
But someone always whispers
all the words that we knew

I think that you forget - who you really are
Your feet are no ocean - yours eyes shine no star
Stay behind your walls - take it all by the hand
There’s no reason for duty- that no one understand
Don’t you know that you are nowhere
Don’t you realise it now
You’ll never find an answer
What you’re needing somehow.
Cause you are nowhere,
Cause you’re nowhere when you’re here.

Would you pardon me now - I never did ever ask
About the endless night - and it’s holy mask.
But I guess the time that was - is never coming back
As all of this darkness - is now only black.
Cause you are nowhere - Cause you are nowhere now.
