Turn back

It's a twelve o'clock depression

My mind is in recession

And I can't answer you

It's the day I can't remember

I think it's late September

Or is it April blue



I can't find peace of mind in a world so unkind

It's just a little heartbreaker

Just a little heartbreaker, yeah



It's a sticky situation

When I'm near hallucination

And I refuse to bow

They used to think me funny

When I promised them their money

But they're not laughing now



I can't find peace of mind

Then she calls me just in time

She's a gift with a golden gun

And she's got them on the run

She's a gift with a golden gun

'Cause she knows what they've done



(Instrumental break)



I can't find peace of mind

Then she calls me just in time

She's a gift with a golden gun

And she's got them on the run

She's a gift with a golden gun

'Cause she knows what they've done



Just what they've done, done, done, done, done

What they've done, done, done, done, done

Just what they've done, done, done, done, done...

What you're sayin' it never really crossed my mind

I hear playin' and everybody's keepin' time

I'm recallin' that girl I met in London town

She was strange, young and tender

and narrowed all my choices down



We ran away into the night hypnotized

You carved your name right next to mine

English Eyes



I was tryin' to read her lips

and knew the time was drawing near

I forgot what she said

but I remember how she whispered in my ear

I can hear laughter

coming from the places we once knew

There were stories from a stranger

out of nowhere but they seemed so true



We ran away into the night hypnotized

You carved your name right next to mine

English Eyes, English Eyes, English Eyes



(Instrumental break)



English Eyes



Red sky warning, girl you really put a spell on me

Never told me 'bout the daddy you refused to please

You took the bishop when the king was standing

right in front of you

There's nothing in it if I can't have a girl

with eyes like you



We ran away into the night hypnotized

You carved your name right next to mine

English Eyes



We ran away into the night hypnotized

You carved your name right next to mine

English Eyes, English Eyes, English Eyes

English Eyes, yeah, English Eyes, English Eyes

Baby, I'm a liar when I tell you that I just don't care

Babe, I've got to have you but you're never ever, ever there

Hey, the game is over, give it up right now

You're teasin' me, baby

how do you expect me to be without you



You let your hair down low

You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

But you just can't tell anymore



Baby, you're a teaser but you just don't dare

Baby, keep your secrets, this whole thing just ain't fair

Tonight is almost over, tomorrow you'll be gone away

So please baby, won't you stay



You let your hair down low

You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

But you just can't tell anymore



(Instrumental break)



You let your hair down low

You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come

But you just can't tell anymore

I don't want to know the reason why you don't love me

I don't want to know the reason why you don't care

I don't want to know the reason why you're leavin' me

I'm not the only one that lost my love

Way down there - way down there



I don't want to hear the reason why you don't need me

I don't want to hear the reason why you don't stay

I don't want to hear the reason why you're seeing him

All I know is that I want you back, but you're



A million miles away and it's killin' me inside

There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight

The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love

When I'm a million miles away



(Instrumental break)



I don't want to be the reason why you don't love me

And I don't want to be the reason why you don't care

I don't want to be the reason why you're leavin' me

I'm not the only one that lost my love



A million miles away and it's killin' me inside

There's a stranger in a carriage

And he's takin' her out tonight

The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love

When I'm a million miles away



He sends his love and I'm a hundred million miles away

I wanna give her something she'll remember

And she say, "No, no, no, no, no"

I wanna squeeze her tight and not offend her, yeah

She said, "No, no, no, no, no"



(And he thought that she was coming back

but she wrote him a letter)

Sealed it with a kiss and placed it in front of my door



Seems as though you've got your way before

You left me standing helpless just when I need more

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore



I tried to tell the boys all about her, yeah

And they say, "No, no, no, no, no"

They told me she was loose, no doubt about her

Well I say, "No, no, no, no, no"



(And he thought that she was coming back

but she wrote him a letter)

Sealed it with a kiss and placed it in front of my door



Seems as though you've got your way before

You left me standing helpless just when I need more

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore



(Instrumental break)



Seems as though you've got your way before

You left me standing helpless just when I need more

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time

You broke my heart for the last time, goodbye Elenore



You broke my heart for the last time

Broke my heart, it's the last time

You stole my heart and now you're gone forevermore

Would you say no if I asked you for your hand

Could you believe in the same words that I don't understand

And would you cry if I told you I must go



I've been waiting such a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever

I've been wanting you a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever



Would you say no if I asked you for this one chance

Am I a fool to believe that this night is circumstance

I wish that for once you could see the look in your own eyes



I've been waiting such a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever

I've been wanting you a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever



(Instrumental break)



I've been waiting such a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever

I've been wanting you a long, long time

I think I could stand you forever



I think I could stand you forever

Think I could stand you

Think I could stand you forever, yeah



Think I could stand you forever, yeah

I think I could stand you

Think I could stand you forever, yeah - forever and ever

Think I could stand you forever, yeah

Think I could stand you forever and ever and ever

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



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



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)



Run through the darkness

Turn back the years

Turn back the years

I don't know if you'll understand

But I'm hopin' that you'll

Follow me down to the waterway

I'll be there if you change your mind

Listening to the ticking

Of the hands on a clock working overtime



If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl



Now you're here standing next to me

I've seen your face on every girl

That I've held since you went away

It's getting late and I have to know

I'm mending the wings of a heart

That was broken not so long ago



If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl



(Instrumental break)



If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl
