Turn back the clock Give me my time Give it back to me Return what is mine What you stole from me I cannot conceive All my sleepless nights you would not believe
Out of my fingers Slipping through my hands Like some bird with jewelled feathers Like contraband Turn back the clock Give me my time Give it back to me Return what is mine
Oh love, what did you say? Did you say you were staying Or going away? Oh love, what did you mean? Do I read your words Or the spaces between?
And I gave you my heart And it didn’t even sting A song and a promise and a fine silver ring What you stole from me I cannot conceive I had you down for a lover Never for a thief
From a clamour of voices Turn me round in the silence Turn my body round sideways In the icy cold flow They say time will heal But it’s flowing like water Rolled deep in the river Like contraband
