about

Observational rather than biogrphical. There are always options, but not always eyes to see them.

lyrics

The song's begun just like it's done before.
A broken memory on a bedroom floor.
But soon the pain within subsides.
And when the blood and tears have dried
"A womans work is never done".

The sunlight dances through this battlefield.
Illuminates the scars that have never healed.
Was this the future life you'd planned?
The bloodied nose, the broken hand?
And what is wrong goes on and on and...

Avoid the questions, construct the lie.
Fictitious fall provides the reason why.
"It can't be him, it must be me"
But she's too close, too blind to see
that what is wrong goes on and on and ...

"Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here, within the sight of God,
to bare witness to this
unholy union.
To have and to hold,
subdue and then control,
in sickness and in constant fear,
forever and ever..."

She gave her heart up with a vow.
But just look what's happened now.

Pick up the suitcase turn to close the door.
Not quite the end she'd hoped and she'd prayed for.
She feels so hopeless and alone
outside this not so 'home sweet home'.
A resolution to this song?

But indecision creeps into her head.
Sweet things he did, romantic words he said.
One more last chance for him to change.
Begin, this day, a brand new page.
And so the song goes on and on and...
