Alan and mina have stepped outside the bar to have a smoke, whilst Nemo takes himself and Dorian back to the nautilus in the carriage, as Dorian said he was feeling "a little under the weather". Mina turns to Alan and blows out a puff of smoke, "sweet, that you planned all this for Thomas. You really are like a father to him." Alan looks down at the floor, "you know its not good to keep everything inside, after all, this is me." Alan faces away looking into the distance…

Alan-How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my boy you'd still be fine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then boy you, you'd still be fine

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my boy you'd still be fine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then boy you, you'd still be fine

And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa

If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my boy you'd still be fine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then boy you, you'd still be fine

I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands

There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you
(If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you
(If I could turn back)
forever in my heart.
(If I could turn back the hands)

(If I could turn back)
That would be my will
(If I could turn back)
I'm going down, yes I am
(If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
(If I could turn back the hands)

(If I could turn back)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you
Love you love you love you
(If I could turn back the hands)

"I'm proud of you, that couldn't have been at all easy." Mina said flicking her cigarette out of the holder and standing on it to extinguish it. She took Alan by the hand and led him back into the bar. aw
