[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Raising his sail, castaway 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]
"Run," through the darkness, he hears, "turn back"
There's no survivors, you can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
[Outro]
Run through the darkness
Turn back the years, yeah
Turn back the years
Turn back the years, turn back the years...
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
[Verse 2]
Raising his sail, castaway 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]
"Run," through the darkness, he hears, "turn back"
There's no survivors, you can't turn back
Dreams keep him turning back the years
[Outro]
Run through the darkness
Turn back the years, yeah
Turn back the years
Turn back the years, turn back the years...
