out of the land of shadows and
darkness, we were returning
Towards the morning light
Almost in reach of places I knew
Escaping the ghosts of Yesterday
You were behind me following
closely
Don't turn around now
I heard you whisper in my ear
If you should turn now
All that you won
Will vanish just like a passing dream
Just on the very verge of the
morning, daylight was dawning
freedom was but a step away
Now with the deep dark river
behind us
what could go wrong if I stayed
strong in mind
What was the sudden lapse into
madness, what was the urge that
turned my head around to look at you
What was the stubborn will
to destroy the love and the joy
I nearly held
three times the thunder roared
in my ears
In all of my years I'll see that lost
look in your eyes
As, with a sigh like smoke in the wind
You slipped from my grasp into
the waiting shadows
so much I longed to say
but my touch found only the
empty air and a black nights
coldness
lnto another world you entered
And never again I can reclaim you
