That One Night
Since that night I've been scared for miles
As I go on-I have not smiled
As I slow down- I cannot think
I swallow hard but I just shrink-
From my grim dreams I have not waken
My life- it has been scarred and shaken
My pride has only fallen deep-
And I do cry- I cry and weep-
There- In my dark sleep- that one night
I turned and squirmed around- to fight
I got caught and used all my will
And then my heartbeat was so still-
I was dreaming, I was crazy-
When I woke my sight was hazy-
All my strength had gone astray
I needed to be away-
I had to find a near train
So I could escape the pain-
From the mem'ries, and the dark-
They have all left a black mark
(No longer am I like before)
I'm a mess and nothing more-
