I'm not ready, to move on
©,Sunday, 22 September 2002
Peter FitzGerald Song ID# 0505_14 Verse 1
We left this morning for the last time,
The house where one baby was born and the other since moved on I never thought I'd feel so sad The biggest part of my growing done, within these walls I'm not ready to move on, I'm not ready to move on Verse 2
Days so sad, should be raining
Instead it's warm and bright, No, it don't feel right I hope these people look after our home I hope these people look after my memories I'm not ready to move on, I'm not ready to move on Verse 3
Open the door to a new life
Although this house is new, we've made a room for you Please, Come back if you ever get lonely You know your mother is blue, and she still misses you I'm not ready to move on, I'm not ready to move on Verse 4
It's a year to the day since we left there
While the memories strong, we all have to be move'n on Please remember we all miss you From a new house in a new road And your sister is playing out in the yard And your sister is playing out in the yard fade
And your sister is playing out in the yard
(repeat over fade) Song Story
In December 97 we lost our oldest child to
Leukaemia at the age of 12, after fighting the illness for 7 years,
she died early in the morning on the couch, in the lounge room of the
first house Ex and I owned together. While she was not my natural daughter,
we had all been together for 5 years and as you can imagine over that
time you undergo a few life changing experiences. We stayed in that
house for a few more years and as I was driving away for the last time
to the "new" house, I realised how much I didn't want to leave, how
much of me grown up, and how much I had changed, and how much of me
was and still is there. . . . I miss that house and the sense of home. I wrote this song, about a week after Send me your "
