end:

 There were nights I don't remember
 And there's pain that I've forgotten
 Other things I choose not to recall
 There are faces that come to me
 In my darkest secret memory
 Faces that I wish would not come back at all
 But in my dreams parade of lovers
 From the other times and places
 There's not one that matters now, no matter who
 I'm just thankful for the journey
 And that I've survived the battles
 And that my spoils of victory are you
