F
Out of the land of shadows and
Bb
darkness we were returning
C
Towards the morning light
F
Almost in reach of places I knew
Bb
Escaping the ghosts of
C
yesterday
F
You were behind me following closely
Bb
Don't turn around now
C
I heard you whisper in my ear
F
If you should turn now
Bb
All that you won will vanish
C
Just like a passing dream
F
Just on the very verge of the
Bb
morning daylight was dawning
C
freedom was but a step away
F
Now with the deep dark river behind us
Bb C
what could go wrong if I stayed
strong in mind
F
What was the sudden lapse into madness
Bb C
What was the urge that turned my head around
to look at you
F
What was the stubborn will to destroy
Bb
the love and the joy
C
I nearly held
Music break

F
Three times the thunder roared in my ears
Bb C
In all of my years I'll see that lost
look in your eyes
F
As with a sigh like smoke in the wind
Bb C
You slipped from my grasp in to
the waiting shadows
F
So much I longed to say
Bb
but my touch found only the
C
empty air and a black nights coldness
F
Into another world you entered
Bb C
And never again can I reclaim you
