|
She never really had a chance
|
On that fateful moonlight night
|
Sacrificed without a fight
|
A victim of her circumstances
|
|
Now that I`ve become aware
|
And I`ve exposed this tragedy
|
A sadness grows inside of me
|
It all seems so unfair
|
|
I`m learning all about my life
|
By looking through her eyes
|
|
Just beyond the churchyard gates
|
Where the grass is overgrown
|
I saw the writing on her stone
|
I felt like I would suffocate
|
|
In loving memory of our child
|
So innocent, eyes open wide
|
I felt so empty as I cried
|
Like part of me had died
|
|
And as her image
|
Wandered through my head
|
I wept just like a baby
|
|
As I lay awake in bed
|
|
And I know what it`s like
|
To lose someone you love
|
And this felt just the same
|
|
She wasn`t given any choice
|
Desperation stole her voice
|
I`ve been given so much more in life
|
I`ve got a son, I`ve got a wife
|
|
I had to suffer one last time
|
To grieve for her and say goodbye
|
Relieve the anguish of my past
|
To find out who I was at last
|
|
The door has opened wide
|
I`m turning with the tide
|
Looking through her eyes
|
