[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...
