Procol Harum - (you Can't) Turn Back The Page

The night surrounds me

I can't turn back the hands of time

When i look around me

My thoughts are of the lonely kind

Such a game of high stakes

We gambled and then we lost

We were fools to believe

That we could beat the odds



But the story always ends the same

(you can't turn back the page)

Trying to relive ev'ry moment as it came

(you can't turn back the page)

But it always ends the same

You can't turn back the page



The night surrounds me

I try and get you off my mind

But still... still it hounds me

If i could see you one more time

In a moment of madness

We gambled and the we lost

Now we live in the shadows

And pay the cost



And the story always ends the same

(you can't turn back the page)

Trying to relive ev'ry moment as it came

(you can't turn back the page)

But it always ends the same

You can't turn back the page



The judgement's been set

The jury retired

The court's now in recess

The plea's been denied



And the story always ends the same

(you can't turn back the page)

Trying to relive ev'ry moment as it came

(you can't turn back the page)

But it always ends the same

You can't turn back the page
