about

About a woman in love with a married man. And the feeling of freedom when she realises it doesn't have to be that way.

lyrics

I packed my bags again,
backpack on my back and wine in my hand
A warm jacket in case it blows
or if I needed something soft under my head

I took a decisive move but as I approached
the uncertainty made my pulse race
and hung iron weights on my legs

And then from the opposite hill
I saw a light and the warmth of the family hearth
As her car drove away, I stood still
of my own free will, I ran down the hill

As far as the foot can go up
I walked mindlessly until my fear
replaced joy like hate replaces love.

And then I stood on your terrace
and stared through the shutters into an empty house
empty but fragrant and cozy
and dreadful because it belonged to your spouse

Why is it that every time I'm on the road
I never find you here and when you're here
you're not alone? Maybe it’s time to let it go

And so I stare at the shutters
I see nothing more but my disappointed face
Aged with waiting and hiding
True feelings for the man who’s got a different base

Suddenly I realised that I wasn't yours
And thankfully, I never have to be.
Only half the love is not for me,
and the light of the house went out to shine
to another path of mine
