The Journey That Never Was

I promised to be home by Christmas To see my kid and be with my family But i didn't know the journey ahead Would be my last I thought i'd eat those fresh buns by morning Now its noon and i've not arrived And my phone has gone cold I'm out of service I hoped i could beat the traffic by overtaking the traffic ahead only to veer off the road As i was avoiding to hit a kid crossing I couldn't let myself hit the kid I couldn't brake in time either The kid looked terrified and in that moment i saw my own kids It's evening and still no sign Everyone must be worried by now Its gone dark on my side and there's no way to ever come home If you get to hear me now Its sad i never got one last time To say goodbye to you Not a day goes by without thinking of you all The PO£T
