Lyrics
Turn Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only the wind sang the words he could hear
Born of the sand washed ashore on a tear
Time wrote the lines on his face like a scroll
Love is a loss to the man with no soul
Chorus:
Run through the darkness he hears - turn back
There's no survivors, you can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
(Instrumental break)
Raising his sail cast away on his own
Motherless child on a sea all alone
Morpheus calls but they won't lay him down
Creatures of midnight appear with no sound
Chorus
(Instrumental break)
Run through the darkness, turn back the years, turn back the years
