sting book of my life

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Let me watch by the fire and remember my daysAnd it may be a trick of the firelightBut the flickering pages that trouble my sightIs a book I'm afraid to writeIt's the book of my days, it's the book of my lifeAnd it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knifeAnd it's all there to see as the section revealsThere's some sorrow in every lifeIf it reads like a puzzle, a wandering mazeThen I won't understand 'til the end of my daysI'm still forced to remember,Remember the words of my lifeThere are promises broken and promises keptAngry words that were spoken, when I should have weptThere's a chapter of secrets, and words to confessIf I lose everything that I possessThere's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't dieThere's a chapter on love where the ink's never dryThere are sentences served in a prison I builtout of liesThough the pages are numberedI can't see where they leadFor the end is a mystery no-one can readIn the book of my lifeThere's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sonsThere are pages of conflicts that nobody wonAnd the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,There's a page where we fail to meetThere are tales of good fortune that couldn't be plannedThere's a chapter on god that I don't understandThere's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'mdamned if I seeThough the pages are numberedI can't see where they leadFor the end is a mystery no-one can readIn the book of my lifeNow the daylight's returningAnd if one sentence is trueAll these pages are burningAnd all that's left is youThough the pages are numberedI can't see where they leadFor the end is a mystery no-one can readIn the book of my life
