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
Into another world you entered
And never again I can reclaim you

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.....
