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!
