IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME
It's dark now, and time to go
A silent flit, I know the rules,
The 'only take what you can carry'
Curtains twitching in good riddance
Already I know we'll go again
But Mum says it will be different this time
Fly by night, land by night
Secret creatures of the dark
That hides shame and flapping shoes
How we came to this bare place
And we'll leave the same
But Mum said it would be different last time
Always running from some past,
Go before the present's here,
Futures that all look the same
Bed amongst the bugs and rats
Then some man who's wanting more
But Mum says it will be different next time
Time and time and time again
It wasn't much but it was home
I had to choose what's left behind
"I'm ready now" the waited words
Pours the last drop into her cup
But Mum says it will be different this time
