When The Choices Disappear
when the choices disappear
when there are no options
where are word you like to hear
then you know it is the real thing
when there is no more solo fear
when you feel like a human being
when the choices disappear
when you can see no more pain
and when you just want to settle down
that is how you know
that when you know its it
when you would give it all up
everything you have worked so hard for
just to start working on some new doors
when the choices disappear
when the options run out
and that is how it has become
and that is how i feel now
i do it all for her
when the choices disappear
then you must know for sure
James Garratt – Sunday 9th October 1999
