lyrics

The Rest of My Days

In this wonderful room,
Revisiting tunes from twenty years ago,
Feels like picking at a wound.
I only want to think about You,
But pieces of my past always find a way through.

I should let go.
I know, I know, I know…

Think I’m going insane.
Trapped by my habits,
I wish I could change.
Resentment sits barely contained.
Decades of rage,
Blaming the world for mistakes that I made.

I should let go.
I know, I know, I know.
I should let go.

Maybe these magical spells will free me,
Like a cry for aid,
If I cast them to the wind and quietly walk away.
When they’re done will I be free to be me? No longer enslaved?
Will they let me begin the rest of my days?

I should let go.
I know, I know, I know.
I should let go.

Heading for fifty, I’m sick of the grip
That the last thirty years seem to have on my soul.
They sit on my shoulders, those bastards who told me
To do things their way, and I can’t break their hold.
Is there some trick I don’t know?

Maybe these magical spells will free me,
Like a cry for aid,
If I cast them to the wind and quietly walk away.
When they’re done will I be free to be me? No longer enslaved?
Will they let me begin the rest of my days?

Will they let me begin the rest of my days?

J E Harrison
