Kansas - Point Of Know Return

A song written by Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart and Robby Steinhardt
Artist: Kansas
Album: Point Of Know Return
Year: 1977

Lyrics:

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"

They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it's time, you see the sign
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long,
How long to the point of know return?"

Your father, he said he needs you
Your mother, she says she loves you
Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the point of know return?"
"Well, how long?"

Today I found a message floating
In the sea from you to me
It said that when you could see it
You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how long
To the Point of Know Return?"

Kansas(the state) is DEFINITELY the point of no return.

[OpenTv1998]

Just saw them yesterday in South Florida. First time ive ever heard them, living as a teenager in a terrible music world these days, it was good to hear good music.

@paganknight The same is often said here in Ohio. My brother in law was from both and they threaten to tear him limb from limb

Dust in the Wind, Wayward Son, and Point of Know Return. Was Kansas just a 3 hit wonder, or did they do other songs of this caliber? I can't find any others that seem worth listening to...even on their greatest hits.
