Flashback to my former life

The fog rolls in, clouding my gaze.

a man in a red hat walks through the smog

my heart skips a beat as I watch him come forward

he waves in my direction, smiling wide


A man in a red hat walks through the smog

a woman behind brushes my shoulder

he waves in my direction smiling wide

She breaks into a run and leaps into his arms


a woman behind brushes my shoulder

I look back to see her expression gleaming

she breaks into a run and leaps into his arms

another man cuts through the fog like a knife


I look back to see her expression gleaming

I’m jealous of the love I see in her eyes

another man cuts through the fog like a knife

my husband, one limb short walks by.


I’m jealous of the love I see in her eyes

Sorrow keeps my face turned down low

my husband, one limb short walks by

woman, my bag needs taking, take hold.


Sorrow keeps face turned down low

my heart skips a beat as I see him come forward

woman my bag needs taking, take hold

the fog rolls in, clouding my gaze.
