(Alex Lifeson) He opens the book-looks at the
scenes from yesterday How they laughed and loved
and lived before the grew old and gray Now he
sits alone in his room, and the clock ticks away
Together they enjoyed all life's beauty and all
it's fears The lonelycry of his soul falls only
on his ears Each page's photo marked with the
stain of his tears He didn't know what to do He
didn't know what might come Nothing was all that
was left to him Nothing was left when she was
gone The heart has a memory so strong It
remembers every right and every wrong On those
pages of his long, lonely life He can only see
his wife He said "Pluck out my eyes" He said
"Plug up my ears" He said "Silence my tongue" He
said "Take away my empty years" One last wish To
see her face One last breath He's calling to
death One last look up at the sun As he picks up
the gun As he steadies the gun As he finally aims
the gun
