From the recording Writing my book again
Lyrics
What would I change what would I leave the same
If I could take a blank page & write my book again
I’d leave in the laughter & some of the tears
I’d take back the forgotten years
The happy times & none of the pain
If I ever got the chance to write my book again
I don’t believe anyone
Who says they wouldn’t change a thing
Sinner or saint
We all got to answer for something
I’d tear down some fences, mend some hearts
I could write myself a brand new part
I’d paint myself a better man
If I ever got the chance to write my book again
Oh, the bridges I have burned
The true loves I have spurned
The opportunities, the stones I’ve left unturned
Solo
Well if life’s a journey
I’m a few years down the track
But you keep on going
Cos there’s no way of turning back
I can speculate, hypothesize,
It’s too late to apologise
I wonder how it might end
If I ever got the chance to write my book again.
