When stars are born, are they cast out To wander cold and lonely lost in space? A loveless point of light that can't return Forever fixed within one place When love is lost and dreams are cast Like bruised and battered pieces left to die When hands that reach out are betrayed How can my tortured soul survive? There's only one thing left And that's the one thing that you needed most of all For the freedom that you gained Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore And I'm borne high on these waves Swept by the wind and alone Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home I'm tired, I've been torn A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home These scars run deep The future holds a hunger for your innocence That passed away Your callous shadows mock And make it clear some things Were not enough to make you stay The moment time stands still Is the moment that the writing's on the wall The words are clear as ringing bells That pride was present right before the fall And I'm borne high on these waves Swept by the wind and alone Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home I'm tired, I've been torn A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home
