Deborah Conway Book Of Life lyrics: Everybody's empty but it's not for food And everybody's praying here to be rescued Examining our sins it is hard not to conclude We're screwed The world's in flames These maddened days of black and white No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night There's never been a song that could save a life Aha. (CHORUS) Blow the horn, blow the horn Give a voice to all the mournful souls Who search to be reborn tonight Forgiveness like the sharpest knife Oh God inscribe me in the Book of Life I've been hungry since before the dawn Tired and full of un-cried tears I still can't shed Stored up with the unsaid things we never said You wanted forgiveness I wasn't ready yet Now you're dead To all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you Apart from that there's nothing more that I can do And though I know it's useless It kind of helps me through Mm hmm (CHORUS) I want to see my children out in the world Grown into women from little girls Why wouldn't you want that too? The older you get the more friends you lose Next year I won't disappear in fire or flood Next year I'll still be here to do some good I won't be taken by pills or thrills or wine I should be doing fine (CHORUS) I've been hungry since before the dawn
