The shadow falls on me today Why can't it fade into the distance And darkness calls, no other way. I rage at the riddle of existence. The day's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me The day's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me A broken plan, a fleeting past How do we always keep on trying A tired man, is free at last What would the purpose be of lying My life's almost gone but you'll carry on Can you keep the flame for me My life's almost gone but please carry on Could you keep the flame for me Will you keep the flame for me
