. . Music - David Maurice Garrett Lyrics - Susan Raines 23/04/12 We pledged a lifetime together A home, a family But as the years passed by you drifted away And sought the arms of another You asked for trust and then you told me lies Then blamed me for your adultery You turned your back on us, you walked away For a new life with your rich lover And now you're back here! Did she get wise to you? I learnt those months alone That I never needed you! I’m doing fine! All by myself! Karma has caught up with you You made your choice! To be with her! Karma has caught up with you So where were you? In those hours of need? Karma has caught up with you Now you have reaped, what you sowed Karma has caught up with you You say you love me, but it's a toxic love I can't trust you, your words mean nothing to me now! I don't want your love Hey! I don't need your love I don't need your love No! No! I don't want your toxic love Your love tortured my spirit so! I ,,, I,,, Don't love you And your toxic love can't hurt me any more Where you go from here I don't give a damn My life is so much better Since you set me free I don't need your love Hey! I don't need your love I don't want your love No! No! I don't want your toxic love Your love tortured by spirit so I don't love you any more....

. . He kissed my cheek and cuddled me Just like he did, when he was a child I felt his fear and wiped his eyes… My baby boy Then we watched him board the ship for France Like his dead father before him a brave soldier he be With a young wife and son of his own I will be there for them ‘Til we are together again The last time I saw my love And felt the touch, of his warm embrace We promised our love for evermore… Our dying breath Now he won’t be coming home to me For he lies in a foreign field so far away And he won’t see his son grow to a man I will love no other ‘Til we are together again Instrumental I’ll wait for you I’ll wait for you Instrumental So many years have gone by My time is coming, to an end His son has grown into a man… A soldier he For he follows his fathers legacy I have felt his presence for so many years And I know he is waiting there for me How I long to be with him ‘Til we are together again Instrumental I’m waiting for you, I’m waiting for you I see him waiting for me Lyrics by Susan Raines 10 December 2011
