Never Go Back

(Greg Greenway with Kim & Reggie Harris)
2005-08-03
Known as a one man tour-de-force, Greg Greenway is one of those difficult-to-categorize performers who have found a home in the modern acoustic genre. Originally from Richmond, VA, he moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition and has become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Musically, he draws inspiration from all over the map--gospel, rock, blues, even world music. But its central appeal is that it comes through the singular lens of Greenway's humanity and his soulful affinity for the audience.

Singers, songwriters and interpreters of African-American musical traditions of freedom, Kim and Reggie Harris are honored to sing this wonderful song with their dear friend and coconspirator Greg Greenway. We miss you Rachel! ...especially when we gather with the gang to sing the songs of Phil Ochs!

1-4 Never Go Back
(LIDP, reprised for IWL)

You can never go back to the first time
You can never go back to the first time
You can never go back to the first time, but it feels so new with you.

You can never go back to your childhood
You can never go back to your childhood
You can never go back to your childhood, but I feel so young with you.

You can never go back once you’ve stripped the land…
But I’ll save this piece
I’ll save this piece
But I’ll save this piece with you

My head is swirling in the wind of you
This twister takes me back to the tornado in your eyes

And you can never go back once you’ve tasted freedom
But I’ll share my place with you.

We can never go back to innocence
Never go back to arrogance
We can never go back to intolerance
So I’ll live to dream, I’ll live to dream
Yes, I’ll live to dream
With you
