This track was composed while Marguerite underwent radiation therapy at Blue Gum Lodge Sydney 2004.
lyrics
The One That Got Away
Come behold me in my madness
feel the pulse of my life
Rushing blood like an Avalanche
with the rise and fall of each breath I take.
I've been to some pretty dark places
and there I brought back some light
and I've been so afraid
but for now
I am the one that got away
the one that got away
If I hold still for a moment
I hear the beat of a drum
it's mesmerizing and beckoning me
oh yes I am to push on
I've been to some pretty dark places
and there I brought back some light
I've been so afraid
but for now
I am the one that got away
the one that got away
I am the one that got away
the one that got away
If I hold still for a moment
the bone lady will not claim me tonight
I'm not too proud for a bargain
but who shall I raise my fists to should I fail
