Pages
(America)
In this bookcase full of stories
You find some of them are true
Tales of Love and glory
Many lives of daring-do
There is mystery and adventure
They lie waiting there for you
So step inside and find the other you
So take the high road tomorrow
But take the low road today
Reading others sorrow just might be the only way
The Father hears confession
While the mother's feeling blue
There characters do just what you want them to
(chorus)
In these pages we consume
Lives in many colors
Lovers in full bloom
And through the ages
Words are born
Speaking to the senses
Lifting the forlorn
There's glamour and dementia
A message from the tomb
Staircase to the heavens
And secrets of the room
When you're riding on that dark horse
To the one that got away
There's no regrets and no dues left to pay
(chorus)
Drifting down the river
Of the make believe
We laugh and grieve
Hoping for an ending
Of our own design
Where all is fine
(chorus)
