Verse 1] I spent three nights this week living, Back in 1987, immersed in joy and sorrow, suppressed more than thirty years. Verse2 Writing a novel based on fact, With a facade of fiction, reliving a fateful year, that I can never forget. Chorus The heart remembers, what the mind would forget, wounds I thought had healed, bled again--opened wide. Verse 3 Three nights I spent towards the end, typing away at my keyboard, trying to outrun ghosts reborn, all night, into mid-morn. Verse 4 Then caught two or three hours of sleep, and rushed back to weaving again, a renewed, vibrant tapestry, from life’s frayed and broken threads. Verse 5 What was broken, was yet mended, forged in the fires of remembrance, tempered by unexpected tears, that had not flowed for many years. Verse 6 Ghosts buried and thought forgotten, rose young, healthy, full of life, not to taunt or haunt or pain me, --to once more live in my heart. . Chorus The heart remembers, what the mind would forget, wounds I thought had healed, bled again--opened wide Bridge The past became my present, my present left for dead, I lived again not in shadow, or in dreams inside my head. Verse 7 Closed doors that I had pried open, now shut, and locked themselves closed, and the verdant paths not taken, left bittersweet pain and remorse. Chorus The heart remembers, what the mind would forget, wounds I thought had healed, bled again--opened wide Outro But oh, the bittersweet joy, that for a time filled my heart, is worth the pain I now feel, in memories all too real.
