lyrics

“THIS LIFE” by David Guilbault

Time has come to be a sage.
To write this book.
To fill this page.
But, my story can’t be drawn,
As memories fade.
With remembrances gone.

What do I have to say?
What was this, anyway?
This life?
These loves?
These times?

There is so much I could tell,
If only my past
Wasn’t lost in a swell.
The mist of time’s a feral thief,
Robbing my mind.
Of what it has seen.

Impressions, one by one.
All of them on the run.
From this life,
These loves,
These times.

I’m forgetting, day by day.
The roles I made and the parts I played
In this life,
These loves,
These times.

This cruelty should not be,
To strip a soul
Of its memories.
I can’t cherish what has been,
If I can’t recall.
The where and the when.

So, I curse the God above.
Who thought it wise to rob me of
This life,
These loves,
These times.
