The book I had lying around is a thriller by Lisa Jewel called "The Night She Disappeared" A friend has lent it to me, but I haven't got around to reading it yet.

I opened the book at random and (changing the names) the paragraph I put my finger started with the opening line of this song. I followed it a little for the first verse, but from then on l let my imagination tell me the rest of the tale and its theme.

The song was finished well within time, but I have had every technical hitch imaginable, including my printer having run out of ink and having to write the lyrics out by hand from the second verse onwards, to be able to record it in a quieter part of the flat.
