Victor - At The End lyrics

(Alex Lifeson)<br />

He opens the book-looks at the scenes from yesterday<br />

How they laughed and loved and lived before the grew old and gray Now<br />

He sits alone in his room, and the clock ticks away<br />

Together they enjoyed all life's beauty and all it's fears<br />

The lonelycry of his soul falls only on his ears<br />

Each page's photo marked with the stain of his tears<br />

He didn't know what to do<br />

He didn't know what might come<br />

Nothing was all that was left to him<br />

Nothing was left when she was gone<br />

The heart has a memory so strong<br />

It remembers every right and every wrong<br />

On those pages of his long, lonely life<br />

He can only see his wife<br />

He said "Pluck out my eyes"<br />

He said "Plug up my ears"<br />

He said "Silence my tongue"<br />

He said "Take away my empty years"<br />

One last wish<br />

To see her face<br />

One last breath<br />

He's calling to death<br />

One last look up at the sun<br />

As he picks up the gun<br />

As he steadies the gun<br />

As he finally aims the gun
