If, if I could see

Just how lonely my life would be

If you passed me by and said farewell

And there is no return

Stars would shine no more

I would walk up and down this lonely room

I would have friends, but be alone

For there is no return

For you were my first love

And now it looks like you've gone

And I have waited too long

For if, if I could see

Just how lonely my life would be

If you passed me by and said farewell

And there is no return

There is no return

From Preservation Act 2 (1974). No return — once the demolition has happened, the village green is gone, the past cannot be restored. The Preservation story's most fatalistic moment.
