Don’t Turn Around Now

loves this

The Herd – From The Underworld (1967)

Out of the land of shadows and darkness, we were returning towards the morning light
Almost in reach of places I knew escaping the ghosts of yesterday
You were behind me following closely “Don’t turn around now” I heard you whisper in my ear
If you should turn now, all that you won will vanish just like a passing dream

Just on the very verge of the morning, daylight was dawning, freedom was but a step away
Now with the deep dark river behind us, what could go wrong if I stayed strong in mind
What was the sudden lapse into madness, what was the urge that turned my head around to look at you?
What was the stubborn will to destroy the love and the joy I nearly held?

Three times the thunder roared in my ears in all of my years I’ll see that lost look in your eyes
As with a sigh like smoke in the wind you slipped from my grasp into the waiting shadows
So much I longed to say, but my touch found only the empty air and a black nights coldness
Into another world you entered and never again I can reclaim you.
