No Turning Back

I left before the morning came With one small bag and no clear plan The station lights were fading out I didn’t know where I would land The town was sleeping behind me The fields were turning silver-blue I saw the first light on the tracks And thought of everything I knew Maybe I’m afraid Maybe that’s okay Sometimes you have to leave Before you find your way No turning back, I’m moving on The night is fading into dawn I don’t know where this road will end But I won’t be the boy I was again No turning back, just let it go There’s somewhere else I need to know If I get lost along the way I’ll keep on going anyway The cherry trees were almost bare Their petals dancing in the wind I watched the houses disappear And wondered what I left behind A blue moon hung above the hills Like someone watching from afar A white shape standing in the field I couldn’t tell if it was real Maybe it was nothing Maybe it was a sign Some things are only visible When you’re leaving them behind No turning back, I’m moving on The night is fading into dawn I don’t know where this road will end But I won’t be the boy I was again No turning back, just let it go There’s somewhere else I need to know If I get lost along the way I’ll keep on going anyway The train went running through the dark The city lights began to grow I saw my face against the glass And barely knew the boy I saw Then came the tunnel, black and long The whole world vanished for a while And when the daylight came again I saw the future in the sky I don’t need to know What waits beyond the line I only need to know This road is mine If tomorrow changes everything I’ll take it as it comes I’m not looking for the old days I’m looking for what’s next No turning back, I’m moving on The night is fading into dawn I don’t know where this road will end But I won’t be the boy I was again No turning back, just let it go There’s somewhere else I need to know If I get lost along the way I’ll keep on going anyway No turning back, no turning back I’m never going back No turning back, no turning back I’m finally on my way No turning back, just let it go There’s somewhere else I need to know If I get lost along the way I’ll keep on going anyway The train keeps moving The morning comes I don’t know where I’m going But I’m gone
