Open Book is the hidden track from the 2003 Stephen Duffy & Lilac Time CD album Keep Going. I could never find it on YouTube so I set it to some of our old family (Flanaghan, Brennan & Swann) photographs...which is what the song reminds me of.

Hopefully many more can enjoy the song as I do.

OPEN BOOK - STEPHEN DUFFY

We walked across the fields

Through coarse December rain

I knew but could not say

That I'd lost our love again

It will come in waves you said

In tides it will return

The winter moon took it away

It's another beaches turn

You think that life's an open book

Filled with pictures that you took

You close the book the story ends

And it was so hard to make friends

You close the book the story stops

Sometimes you stay down from the knocks

You can't always come out on top

I walked across the hillside

I looked out on the view

It could've been a TV show

If I'd had a bigger crew

I see my life reflected

In pearls shed by your eyes

I wish for pearls of wisdom

Not just tears and long goodbyes

You think that life's an open book

Filled with pictures that you took

You close the book the story ends

And it was so hard to make friends

You close the book the story stops

Sometimes you stay down from the knocks

You can't always come out on top

And when I wrote this song

I was on the run

In a gold rush town

You didn't think it was that good

Even though you understood

That life will be an open book

Filled with pictures that you took

You close the book the story ends

And it was so hard to make friends

You close the book the story stops

Sometimes you stay down from the knocks

You can't always come out on top

You think that life's an open book

Filled with pictures that you took

You close the book the story ends

And it was so hard to make friends

You close the book the story stops

Sometimes you stay down from the knocks

You can't always come out on top
