Turn Back
if I were to speak right out or if
I was to stare right in your eyes or
if I was to hope to act in ways,
ways that are neither right nor true
nor without danger
Teach me the value of restraint;
of saving my strength
and long pauses
Let's take a slide
Hands off the rail
Too late to breathe
Turn back.
If you turn back
Back from the night
Back to the street
Under street lights
Back to the sounds
Back to the sights
Then we'll never know, will we?
Were we to move and act as if
Were we to give right in and drift off
Teach me the value of restraint
Of saving my strong suit
And long pauses
Let's take a slide
Hands off the rail
Too late to breathe
turn back
If we turn left
Into the wind
If we turn right
Rain on our skin
Take separate trains
Begin again
Then we'll ll never know, will we? Voilà
