1
Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
2
And it may be a trick of the firelight
3
But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
4
Is a book I'm afraid to write
5
It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
6
And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
7
And it's all there to see as the section reveals
8
There's some sorrow in every life
9
If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
10
Then I won't understand â??til the end of my days
11
I'm still forced to remember,
12
Remember the words of my life
13
There are promises broken and promises kept
14
Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
15
There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
16
If I lose everything that I possess
17
There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
18
There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
19
There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.
20
Though the pages are numbered
21
I can't see where they lead
22
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
23
In the book of my life
24
There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
25
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
26
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
27
There's a page where we fail to meet
28
There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
29
There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
30
There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see
31
Though the pages are numbered
32
I can't see where they lead
33
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
34
In the book of my life
35
Now the daylight's returning
36
And if one sentence is true
37
All these pages are burning
38
And all that's left is you
39
Though the pages are numbered
40
I can't see where they lead
41
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
42
In the book of my life
