All profits from the sale of this EP will be donated to Rethink Mental Illness in loving memory of Jacqueline Boulton. I wrote 'Will I Ever Sleep' about Jacq, after she ended her fight against depression on September 11th 2015.
If you can give more, please do. Jacq was such a wonderful person who I had the pleasure of dating & being close friends with. I still can't believe she's gone...
You were only 26,
When you chose to lose your grip,
What could we have done?
If only we had known.
I’m haunted every night,
By your Mother’s tears,
My age will rise,
You remain 26.
VERSE 2
I question everything,
Do you still exist?
Can I forgive myself?
Will I ever sleep?
I hear your goofy laugh,
I forget that you are gone,
I see your winning smile,
And the day I wiped it off…
CHORUS
No one should bury their son,
No one should bury their daughter,
No one should bury their young,
No one, no.
No one should bury their son,
No one should bury their daughter,
No one should bury their young,
No one, no one.
No one should bury their son,
No one should bury their daughter,
No one should bury their young,
No one, no.
No one should bury their son,
No one should bury their daughter,
No one should bury their young,
Especially not this one.
