Tears Of Time

You can't turn back the clock
No matter how hard you try

Fingers trace the edge of the night
Shadows stretch like whispers in flight
Every second a thief, every moment a crime
Caught in the flood of the tears of time

And every tick, it takes a piece
Every tock, it steals release
I'm chasing days I'll never find
Still stuck inside the tears of time

Tears of time, they fall, they fall
A broken clock on a splintered wall
Cannot run it, can't rewind
Drowning slow in the tears of time

Tears of time, they call, they call
Frozen hands that won't move at all
Can't escape it, can't deny
I'm lost again in the tears of time

Footprints fade in the sand too soon
Waves erase them under a silver Moon
Memories linger, but they don't rhyme
Still I drift in the tears of time

Each minute gone, a silent sting
I reach for hope, but feel nothing
The past is sharp, the future blind
I bleed beneath the tears of time

Tears of time, they fall, they fall
A broken clock on a splintered wall
Cannot run it, can't rewind
Drowning slow in the tears of time

Tears of time, they call, they call
Memories framed to rise and fall
Can't undo it, can't defy
This aching sigh from the tears of time

The mirror's face, it cracks in size
Reflecting years that never lie
A river flows, it won't resign
Pulling me down with the tears of time

Time keeps falling
Time keeps calling
Can't go back
No turning back

Tears of time, they fall, they fall
A broken clock on a splintered wall
Cannot run it, can't rewind
Drowning slow in the tears of time

Tears of time, they call, they call
Frozen hands that won't move at all
Can't escape it, can't deny
I'm lost again in the tears of time

We can't change the past
But we never stop trying
