Lyrics
NEVER GOING BACK
I woke up to a dream one night
And it’s been with me ever since
An angel came to visit me
And said she’d stay through thick and thin
I woke up to a dream one night
And it’s been with me ever since
An angel came to visit me
And said she’d stay through thick and thin
We lost sight of a harsh reality
Now we’re living in each other’s fantasy
A cruel world said you can’t live this way
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
When we met a blizzard raged
Both outside and deep within
People tried to strangle what we had
And it hurt so bad we almost crashed
But we’re centered now and we choked the cancer
Of their mundane narcotic life
Set our spirits free to live without bounds
And chase our rainbows down
And chase our rainbows down
Chorus
So dry your eyes my love
‘Cause we’ll never come close to the final call
And if we falter
I’ll be around to support you when you fall
I’ll wrap my coat around your shattered nerves
And protect you from the cold
I’ll bathe the wounds inflicted on you
And watch your beauty unfold
‘Cause we’re never, no never going back
Cause we’re never, no never going back
While you’re sleeping I’ll write this song
And stroke the strings so tenderly
The way that I caress your skin
Getting deep down and in between
The things that hurt you and bring you joy
I am yours both man and boy
And when gentle love becomes a rushing flood
Feel the quickening pulse of passion’s blood
Feel the quickening pulse of passion’s blood
We’ll claw each other
‘Til our souls run free
Leaving hunger’s mark
Like hearts carved into a lover’s tree
And then we’ll lie back as one
Waves flowing over us
Enveloping our mortal souls
Enveloping our spirits whole
Chorus
So dry your eyes my love
‘Cause we’ll never come close to the final call
And if we falter
I’ll be around to support you when you fall
I’ll wrap my coat around your shattered nerves
And protect you from the cold
I’ll bathe the wounds inflicted on you
And watch your beauty unfold
‘Cause we’re never, no never going back
‘Cause we’re never, no never going back
‘Cause we’re never, no never going back
