Who Saved Me?
Thinking nothing much at all
my daughter's house my only aim
rhythmic wipers sweep across
clear away the blurry rain
crazy traffic in all three lanes
hypnotic lights dazzle bright
concentration on full power
hate driving on a rainy night
that tune appears, that melody
tears start to flow, it's nothing new
depression held inside so tight
till something triggers thoughts of you
turn up the music, sobbing hard
my will power at it's lowest ebb
a constant battle since you passed
can hardly see the road ahead
thoughts in my head of what's the point
to struggle on without you here
the steering wheel I let fall free
I feel so calm, I feel no fear
a sudden noise I recognize
my mobile phone sings out its tone
I shudder with shock and look at it
I see the name, say's Candy-Home
brought back out of threatening thoughts
my daughter's name was all it took
were you with me on that night
I can't believe it was just luck
