Procol Harum Lyrics

Album: Prodigal Stranger

(You can't) turn back the page Lyrics

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
