sleepless nights
sleepless nights
turning from side to side
searching in vain for a sleep slow to come
memories flooding in
remembering one moment in time
sitting in a car at traffic lights
seeing the unbelievable, shaking in disbelief
how could he be there when he rang me from sydney just hours before
this moment that changed for ever the life I had known
shattered the mistaken beliefs in our union
I still wake up from a nightmare to realise that it is my life
what changes I have made
struggling through years of despair to slowly recreate a life
the only constant the love of and for my children
money becoming a source of fear
finding the strength to venture into new experiences
creating a career, building anew a life
who knows what new adventures await me
when I awaken from my sleep
turning from side to side
searching in vain for a sleep slow to come
memories flooding in
remembering one moment in time
sitting in a car at traffic lights
seeing the unbelievable, shaking in disbelief
how could he be there when he rang me from sydney just hours before
this moment that changed for ever the life I had known
shattered the mistaken beliefs in our union
I still wake up from a nightmare to realise that it is my life
what changes I have made
struggling through years of despair to slowly recreate a life
the only constant the love of and for my children
money becoming a source of fear
finding the strength to venture into new experiences
creating a career, building anew a life
who knows what new adventures await me
when I awaken from my sleep
