Everything Changed In That Moment

The words spoken haltingly came down the line

Still I recall the exact place and time

Certainties crushed beyond all postponement

Everything, everything, changed in that moment

All that you knew and everything that you thought

Was broken in pieces by the briefest report

No chance of rescue no hope of atonement

Everything, everything changed in that moment

Everything changed beyond all repairing

A hopeless reaction confused and despairing

No second chances no fresher’s enrolment

Everything changed in that moment

Your hand is still shaking as you put down the phone

No-one has ever felt so alone

A silent assault by an unseen opponent

Everything, everything changed in that moment

Everything changed beyond all repairing

A hopeless reaction confused and despairing

No second chances no fresher’s enrolment

Everything changed in that moment

Everything changed in that moment
