Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
"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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
"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 5]
Run through the darkness
Turn back the years, yeah
Turn back the years
Turn back the years, turn back the years
