The Accident

When you see an accident

Do not turn your head and look away

I can see detectives are sifting through the wreckage

We have made

It starts with only one kiss

It changes everything

TV crews arrive on the scene

They say "See the man who lost everything"

He lies shattered like a glass on the ground

They say "Only you can bring him around"

& set me free

I became delirious

Palm trees gently swaying in the breeze

On a desert island

I haven't seen a human being for years

The house where we used to live

Described by witnesses

TV crews arrive on the scene

& the anchorman they break down and weep

Living proof that things are not what they seem

It takes all these wild and wonderful things -

To set me free
