river of no return - ron hynes lyrics

water rising and rain full force
riverboat on a reckless course
all the gamblers goin’ for broke
in the steam and the sweat and the smoke
but what have they all got to lose?
only these gambler’s blues
only these gamblers who never learn
down the river of no return
the river of no return

rush of wind like a runaway train
subway screaming a wild refrain
lonely child on the city street
weary face at a window seat
has been waiting there for so long
waitin’ for love to come home
but love’s not a goin’ concern
down the river of no return

never wonder who’s hand is on the wheel
never wonder who negotiates these deals
never ask yourself why
never ask yourself

had a friend who had all he desired
i had a lover with eyes on fire
a love that was pure from the start
except for that restless heart
‘casue restless hearts always betray
somehow they get swept away
to a place where love’s fire won’t burn
down the river of no return
river of no return
never wonder who’s hand is on the wheel
never wonder who negotiates these deals
never ask yourself why
never ask yourself

water rising and rain full force
riverboat on a reckless course
all the gamblers goin’ for broke
in the steam and the sweat and the smoke
but what have they all got to lose?
only these gambler’s blues
only these gamblers who never learn, never learn
down the river of no return
past the long line of bridges that burn, and burn, and burn, and burn
down the river of no return
river of no return
