I'm gonna check my scars at home Gonna cash my chips and roam Gonna walk before I fade to black I'm gonna write a new resume I'm gonna write you off the page I'm gonna take what we might take away And you will find a brighter day And in another year The pain will disappear and I Will look back on this life as if it were a scene In a film somebody made for you and me I wish you well She wants to be set free Wants the space to feel love And be angry and I watch her bounce off the walls While the chips they start to fall And then in a little while I see That distant smile returning Just like a ghost in a dream That we had way back when Then she'll turn and smile and say Come again And in another year The pain will disappear We'll look back on this life as if it were a scene In a film somebody made about you and me I cannot believe there's nothing left to save Hard as a hammer she wants me To come again and again I'm down on my knees Won't you come again Don't you need relief oh And in another year The pain will disappear And I will look back on this life As if it were a scene And in a little while I'll see that distant smile returning Just like back in the days When we were so naive In a film somebody made for you and me I wish you well
