She moved from Clapham
   And didn't look back
   Her life was changed in an instant
   The van was filled up
   And tied to the rack
   Her home that now seemed so distant
   Kissing goodbye
   To her friends on the stairs
   She felt a loss deep within her
   Sat in the front seat with stuff everywhere
   The neighbours said they would ring her
   They moved to the sea front
   And loved their new view
   Of tides coming in on the shingle
   She and her daughter
   Found new things to do
   At last it was good to be single
   And in the summer
   The place came alive
   Lights on the pier in the evening
   The fresh sea air
   And could cut with a knife
   Such a wonderful feeling
  
   She worked in a pub
   Where bands would appear
   On a tiny stage in the corner
   She watched them load in
   With tattered old gear
   The place would get like a sauna
   London had gone now
   Her new life was strong
   She found herself a new karma
   She fell for a man
   Who played with a band
   And took her life from it's drama
  
   She moved from Clapham
   And didn't look back
   The past was neatly extinguished
   He was much younger
   But she lived with that
   He struggled hard with his english
   She felt his loving
   And proudly reclaimed
   All of the warmth she'd been lacking
   They lay in bed
   Looking out at the rain
   No more moving or packing
  
   She moved from Clapham
   And didn't look back
   Her life had changed in an instant
