Description
~Turning Back~

They blamed the fall of man on woman,
And an unfortunate present on a troubled past,
If they tried to get water from a dry well,
They'd blame God for not sending rain,

Put a finger through the smoke rings so they don't die virgins,
It's easier to sweep a woman off her feet when she's got weak ankles,
Enduring self-denial just to be good,
I let a dream turn its back on me again,

Blamed for trying after everything fell through,
What I cross by chance I almost miss by a hair every time,
She has the biggest, brownest, most beautiful eyes,
Turning back and it only cost a few years,

Not a hero,
Consult a good person to know what you should do,
Refused what I thought were burdens,
Now facing them on my knees, begging,

Turning back with the winds of change,
Into the arms of an unforgiving world,
Beyond the heart is a dream I care to recall,
Wistful, delicate, a smile that doesn't fit,

What is worth admitting will be said,
Afraid of loving alone with regret,
Blamed for being afraid,
Turning back to the danger, the embraceable love of my dreams.
