lyrics

Teddy's name was at the top of the marquee
when the curtains parted there was nothing to see
the folks in their seats jumped up and roared
they tore up their programs and stormed out the door
the ticket sellers were run out of town
the poor producer had to go underground

Never no more will he return
Never no more will he return
He's fallen in love with the Lady of the Lake
and never no more will he return

His family waited on christmas eve
pondering the presents under the tree
pairs of waders and freshwater shells
glass-bottomed boat and a diving bell
then the mother's children sent up a wail
as the childrens' mother took out her veil

Never no more will he return
Never no more will he return
the childrens' mother took out her veil
never no more will he return

There's tears that are wept and hearts that are broken
there's lies and rumors whispered and spoken
there's a pair of shoes at the end of the pier
the children grow older year after year
the shores of the lake are laced with snow
it's high in the mountains where nobody goes

Never no more will he return
Never no more will he return
it's high in the mountains where nobody goes
and never no more will he return

Teddy departed at the top of his fame
the fingers of dawn were tracing his name
now he plays for the geese and the loon
the spotlight glimmers dimly down from the moon
with minnows nibbling his clothes and his flesh
his lady the lake clasped close to his chest

Never no more will he return
Never no more will he return
His lady the lake clasped close to his chest
Never no more will he return
