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