A Young Lady I Once Knew

from When Did it Change? by Dawn Barrington

/

lyrics

Verse 1
I’ll tell you a story it’s true
About a young lady that I once knew
Who lived her life like it would never end

Verse 2
Flying high in the city, making lots of friends life was pretty
She was hungry for the money that she could spend

Chorus
I swear that it’s true, because it’s about young lady that I once knew,
no one to help her on her way, no one to see that she was ok

Verse 3
Little did she know that life had already stolen her soul
But she had a new car, new house and friends to show

Verse 4
Alcohol gave her the courage
To unveil the pain and honour the shame
Prescription drugs took it all away

Chorus

Verse 5
One fateful day, she was out on a limb
Her heart almost stopped, paramedics called in
All her dreams had almost come undone

Verse 6
She almost lost her life,
only I week after the birth of her son
A strange thing is a-new journey had begun

Chorus

Verse 7
Now you see her down the track
She’s playing her tunes, her spirit’s come back
She found the music it sure did open her eyes

Verse 8
She now writes from the heart, they say is in need of repair
But the experts can’t-make sense of the whole affair

Chorus x 2
I swear that it’s true, because it’s about young lady that I once knew,
So many friends to help her today, So many to see that she is ok today
