Texty: Ayreon. Day Ten: Memories.

Best friend:
It’s been 10 days
It shouldn’t last this long
The doctor’s mystified
Nothing’s physically wrong…

Wife:
But maybe in his head
He’s struggling to survive
Would it help if we talk to him?
Bring him back to life…

Best friend and Pride:
Do you remember that time
We were showing off our brand new flashy bikes

Wife and Love:
You looked so fine
Until you both fell over and then started to cry!

Best friend and Pride:
Do you recall that day
Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower

Wife and Love:
Then you became afraid
Too scared to climb down you stayed up there for hours!

Best friend and Pride:
Do you remember that time?

Wife and Love:
Do you recall that day?


Wife and Love:
Do you remember that time
Alone at last, naked by the fire

Best friend and Pride:
Then all your friends came by
They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide!

Wife and Love:
Do you recall that day
You proposed to me, and fell down to your knees

Best friend and Pride:
You didn’t know what to say
So she knelt down too for she thought you’d lost your keys!

Wife and Love:
Do you remember that time?

Best friend and Pride:
Do you recall that day?

Passion:
Can you see her light
Shining through the black
She’s reaching out to you
What’s holding you back?

Reason:
Can you feel her warmth
Glowing on your skin
Don’t repress the memories
Let them all in…
