(BEEP)

Hello
Hi how ya going and how have you been?
It has been many years since the last time that my face you've seen
You probably don't remember me or even who I am
Well let's set the scene and I’ll explain everything that I can
Do you remember that night, the one on Blue Bottle Drive?
The rain was pouring heavy and it was like driving while you’re blind
You couldn't see the road in front, but that didn't stop you right
Straight out of Heather's Tavern, you staggered to your ride
A mate offered you a lift home, but you stubbornly declined.
He asked ''Are you sure mate? '' But you blubbered 'Nah I'm fine'
You didn't think that anything would happen, because you've done this a thousand times
But as usual you were you, and that's not a crime.
You still don't remember don't you, I bet this part will help ya out
You swerved a motor cyclist, hit another car and almost got flung out
You landed a few feet away from the accident; someone came to your aid
They could tell you was in shock, afraid and very much in pain
Now the other car had two passengers, two sisters travelling home
They were on the phone to there Mum saying 'We can't wait to get home'
You hit the car head on, because you was on the wrong side of the road
With the raining fallen like it was, who would have known
Ambulances, police and the fire department too
All came rushing to Blue Bottle Drive, all because of you
If you hadn't driven drunk and gotten a lift home at Heather's Tavern
All of this that was going on now, wouldn't have never ever happened
The three of us were all rushed to the same hospital, all at different times
That's where you were examined and diagnosed as fine
But on the other hand my sister was in critical condition, and not so well
I think that was as close as I ever wanna be to hell
I asked the nurse how she was, I never expected the response
The nurse said 'I'm sorry love but the doctor couldn't find a pulse
Straight across the lobby, I caught a glimpse of you in a bed
I just lost my only sister and I saw red
I yelled at you 'You’re alive and she isn't and that that was suppose to be you'
Nurses came rushing cause they knew what I was about to do
I screamed out loud 'Your time is coming and I will see you very soon'
You never expected to see me again did you, from that unforgettable night in June
Now do you remember who I am, I'm that sister who lived
I just happened to get your home number where you and your family lives................
