One Way to Return Songtext
von Dede Booth

Hide the past deep inside
Scratch the surface of time
Too afraid to cross the line
A frozen lake spreads like plague

It mimics truths to our dismay
Cries of stories centuries old
It′d be so easy to ignore
Let these thoughts deny themselves
To face the harder parts of self
To catch a glimpse and set things right


A thousand ways to be set free but only one way to return

Absolve the way that things turned out
Lesson learned in silence
Reconcile the years of pain
Approach the day when we move on
Take a breath, start again
Maybe time will slow us down

A thousand ways to be set free but only one way to return

A thousand ways to be set free but only one way to return

To find the lock of a skeleton key, sets the path of life's sojourn
A thousand ways to be set free but only one way to return


Only one way to return
