Spirit Your sad lit candle Is guttering But still wont seize to burn Enough to seethe Enough to cry The cause to breathe The cause to die
If I should handle Your muttering Iʼ ll call for in return Enough to seethe Enough to cry The cause to breathe The cause to die
Old Man A child A dream A womenʼ s embrace
A thought A scream A comforting face
Two blinks Three steps Four words of a phrase One reason to go on remembering
Spirit It might seem much (it might seem much) But don't condemn me Just break the crutch (just break the crutch) That you call memory
Old Man
Finally! There's a doorway to salvation Should I trust and yield to this temptation If I lost my memory All of my life Will I still be human Curious and free
Spirit Doubts are shading As the lights are fading Go lift the curtain Now be certain And see
Spirit I will be righteous And measure The price you have to pay Enough to seethe Enough to cry The cause to breathe The cause to die
So I am claiming Your treasure Of fortune and dismay Enough to seethe Enough to cry The cause to breathe The cause to die
Old Man A kiss A smile A cold chill inside
A song A dance A word and a fi ght
Two hearts Three lies Four eyes how they cried One reason to wipe out and wash away
Spirit It might seem much (it might seem much) But dont condemn me Just break the crutch (just break the crutch) That you call memory
Old Man Doubts are shading As the lights are fading Go lift the curtain To be certain And see
Spirit Finally! There's a doorway to salvation Let him trust and yield to this temptation If I will have gained what Once was his life I will be like mankind Curious and free
Old Man A tear A touch A black tie and shirt
A book A speech A shovel of dirt
Two stones Three names Four cries of a bird One reason to live and to die at last
Old Man
Finally! There's a doorway to salvation Its the trust we take from contemplation Its the strength of memory And of wondering Finally theres a doorway Curious and free
Spirit Doubts are shading As the lights are fading Go lift the curtain Now be certain And consign your life to me!
