Here are the Lyrics.
A Library Burns by Tony King ©2012

When I was 12 I knew everything
At 18 I knew even more
By the time I got to thirty, I wasn’t quite so sure, I wasn’t quite so sure

The world has become a complicated mess
The things that I am certain of are less and less
But I guess you have to wait until the day
When you know which things to keep and throw away

When an old friend dies, a library burns
Their wisdom took a lifetime to discern
Did we miss a golden chance from them to learn
To read behind the silence of the taciturn
Before a library burns.

The world is now a magazine
Where it used to be a book
Less about the meaning, and more about the look, more about the look

Why hurry past the best bits to the shallow end
Give me the slow life with a dear old friend
Time was never there for you to lend
But the old know when to save and when to spend
When an old friend dies, a library burns
Their wisdom took a lifetime to discern
Did we miss a golden chance from them to learn
To read behind the silence of the taciturn
Before a library burns.

Life adds up to very little of concern
Just the love you leave behind you
And the love that you have earned
When the time comes for your library to burn
