verse 1 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. verse 2 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? Bridge There's only one thing left. And that's the one thing that I needed most of all. But the freedom that I've 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. 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. verse 3 These scars run deep. The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away. My callous shadows mock. And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay. Bridge The moment time stands still Is the moment that the writing's on the walls. The words are clear as ringing bells That pride is 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 gail in my bones. Oh sail me away. Carry me back to my home. Sail me away! Carry me back to my home!
