A Historic Event
I was driving my way home from Paris,
I drove off the ferry quite late,
I switched on the radio as i drove off,
And i never will forget the date.
They started to talk about Paris,
Where I’d been just the day before,
An accident in a deep tunnel,
Where i’d driven, I was pretty sure.
So tired i slept in the car, soon,
A car park off the beaten track,
Woke up around eight in the morning,
Before I began the drive back.
The news just got sadder that morning,
As the radio I switched back on,
I just really couldn’t believe that,
The most famous princess had gone.
There have been many theories what happened,
An Accident, conspiracy?
Just a sad night for the whole of the world,
But I still thought, it could have been me!
The event: The death of Princess Diana, 31st August 1997
