SHE NEVER WENT DOWN THAT BEATEN TRACK
Song about feeling devastated after the passing of a very special person who was original and not in any way part of the speed and greed that characterise modern life. Inspired after reading a poem by William Wordsworth on a similar theme.

SHE NEVER WENT DOWN THAT BEATEN TRACK
WELL MAYBE SHE TRIED BUT SHE NEVER WENT BACK
SHE FLEW SO HIGH LIKE A BIRD IN THE SKY
SHE LISTENED TO THE WHISPERING WIND IN THE TREES
NOBODY REALLY CARED WHERE SHE CAME FROM
AND NOBODY ASKED WHERE SHE WAS GOING
BUT OH HOW I CARED, I CARED SO MUCH
NOBODY MADE ME FEEL LIKE SHE DID
SHE NEVER WENT DOWN THAT BEATEN TRACK
WELL MAYBE SHE TRIED BUT SHE NEVER WENT BACK
AND NOW SHE’S GONE BUT WHO REALLY FEELS IT
ONLY ME AND I TREMBLE INSIDE
TOO FRAGILE FOR ALL THE NOISE AND THE HASTE
SHE HAD TO LET IT GO AND FIND A PEACEFUL PLACE
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AND EVERYTHING’S THE SAME
BUT NOT FOR ME I NEED HER BY MY SIDE
SHE NEVER WENT DOWN THAT BEATEN TRACK
WELL MAYBE SHE TRIED BUT SHE NEVER WENT BACK
