lyrics

Working late I’m afraid to say I’m done
Got three babes at home I'm missing on
When they came in the night I cried so loud
Like the small cramped space in the truck I can’t see out

And I heard you on the radio you falsify your tongue
It’s like it’s a different air your breathing on
My husband in a place he can’t see out
Got undone time I try to climb the doubt

We made our claims of freedom once we’d landed on this shore
Came to flee the taste of death and war
Told England was the place to call my home
But the stench of cold despair never left my lungs

We were friends since childhood knew the creases of his face
Like a familiar painting on the wall
But I knew that his love was not for me
But for the man he left at home so I set him free
