lyrics

The hands keep turnin’
Round and round
Countin’ down
Imagine the sun’s
Had enough
Of this stuff
As tomorrow draws near
Future dawns
Are comin’ on…

You can feel it …

Feeling the emptiness
(Turn back the universe)
Waitin’ for the dawn
(Turn back, turn back)
In the shadows of night
(Turn back the universe)
Behind the light
I will rest
With the dawn

I’ve been watching the dawn’s
Energy
In front of me
As each morning comes
A gentle breeze
Greets the scene
At the end of the day
Dusk shows
A warm outer glow

You Can feel it...

Feeling the emptiness
(Turn back the universe)
Waitin’ for the dawn
(Turn back, turn back)
In the shadows of night
(Turn back the universe)
Behind the light
I will rest
With the sun

Feeling the emptiness
(Turn back the universe)
Waitin’ for the dawn
(Turn back, turn back)
In the shadows of night
(Turn back the universe)
Behind the light
I will rest
With the sun

Come back sunshine
I really need you here
I need you now more than ever before
Before the dusk subsides again
By my side, the warmth’s my friend
Time keeps tickin’ away
Out of my grasp again
Just like the sun and all the days
That have slowly slipped away
I really need the key to turn back all the clocks again
