Day Ten: Memories
Ayreon
[Best friend:]
It’s been ten days
It shouldn’t last this long
The doctor’s mystified
Nothing’s physically wrong
[Wife:]
But maybe in his head
He’s struggling to survive
Would it help if we talk to him
Bring him back to life
[Best friend and Pride:]
Do you remember that time
We were showing off our brand new flashy bikes
[Wife and Love:]
You looked so fine
Until you both fell over and then started to cry
[Best friend and Pride:]
Do you recall that day
Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower
[Wife and Love:]
Then you became afraid
Too scared to climb down you stayed up there for hours
[Best friend and Pride:]
Do you remember that time
[Wife and Love:]
Do you recall that day
Do you remember that time
Alone at last, naked by the fire
[Best friend and Pride:]
Then all your friends came by
They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide
[Wife and Love:]
Do you recall that day
You proposed to me, and fell down to your knees
[Best friend and Pride:]
You didn’t know what to say
So she knelt down too for she thought you’d lost your keys
[Wife and Love:]
Do you remember that time
[Best friend and Pride:]
Do you recall that day
[Passion:]
Can you see her light
Shining through the black
She’s reaching out to you
What’s holding you back
[Reason:]
Can you feel her warmth
Glowing on your skin
Don’t repress the memories
Let them all in...
