The life I wanted to live
Will never be mine
A life of quiet peace
Open spaces of fallen leaves
A life of love and good times
The life I wanted to live
Is nothing but a dream,
Morning breeze through the house
A hard life working with sheep and cows
Things I miss so much
It’s all gone now
I miss that piece of my life
Hard work of sweat, time and tears
Gone are the years
Joy and disappointment
The life I wanted to live
Will never be mine
A life of quiet peace
I only see when I close my eyes
