Story behind the song
Classical story about the girl who married and had children too young. Her husband drinks up all the money and he runs off with the browneyed girl from the local coffee shop, she gets fired from her day job and now she sits on her stairs to her house wagon dreaming herself back to the days where her life was way less complicated.
This qualifies the song to be the first song on the second album we (Sandra, Finn and I) will make.
Lyrics
BACK ON MY OWN.
I have to say I have no luck in my life.
Now I`ve lost my job, there`s no more nine to five
Although I worked so hard I could - for many years,
they closed down the store - and left me here in tears.
I met my man we were so foolish and young.
Soon became a family - thought we were so strong.
But chilkdren meant work, which my husbond didn`t find.
So I worked between the cleaning and the washing while...
he spend our money on wine.
So I`m dreaming that I am back in those years,
where my life was less complicated - less full of tears.
And the things that I dreamed of - who would have known,
that my hope turned to sorrows as he went out the door.
Now I`m back on my own.
SOLO
They said that love is worth fighting for
and all means counts - in both love and war.
But my hope dissapeared and my heartbeat it stopped
The day I saw my husbond kiss the browneyed girl...
from the local coffee shop.
So I`m dreaming...
All my life - building castles in the sky
closed my eyes - I was living a lie
Rearranging plans - netver settled down
Aiming for the stars but now I fell
I`m falling to the ground
I have to take it slowly day by day.
I`ll wait for my chance - sure it must come some day.
And meanwhile I`m living - and I don`t ask for much,
But one thing I`m missing is some one - some one I could touch,
Yes one thing I`m missing is some one - some one I could love.
