Do you remember when you saw me grin
just after you'd come out, before I could go in
Walking along the fence but on different sides
headed in diff. directions; our Bonds untied
Had I known what you'd left below, would I've
reached out to you, grab and pull your hand
Be4 pushing you down my own tunnel of life
So you can replace me and avoid your end
Sadly it's now a bit too late for that
and I can't roll back the clock, to that date
Just before that crafty car crash of Xmas '88
so I may take your place and change your fate
Before your daughter loses you at the age of 8
Coz your early and unexpected departure left
her heart cracking and tearing with every beat
And now she and I will never have, nor taste
the abundance of a mother's love, how sweet?
