In the Middle of Your Life/Nothing Happened Lyrics by Jill Paice

2011

In the middle of your life
Anything can happen
In the middle of the road
That you're travelling upon
In the middle of your life
Anything can happen
What you fear is moving back
May well be moving on
Driving back from Venetia to our home
Swift and safe in our car
Glorious Summer evening
Soaring through darkness like a blazing shooting star
(Spoken)
Corrado Dammit slow down! And you Grazia, for God's sake, sit!
Cruising smooth on the winding mountain road
Taste champagne in the air
Oh what a celebration linking the two of you forever
At last engaged to be married a wonderful pair
Corrado please go faster
I want to go much faster
I love the cold on my face
And the wind in my hair
Rolling down now descending through the pass
Hairpin turns by the score
Speeding on through the velvet of the night
Pedal pressed to the floor
(Spoken)
Grazia!
(Spoken)
Mama! Going fast makes me feel alive
Leave the girl alone
It's been her lucky day
Nothing could go wrong for her
And her new fiancé
Oh what a wonderous night
As we play chemin de fer
Cards from heaven alone
Surely the gods are looking down
And no doubt they still are smiling
To make this night
More enchanted than any we've known
Careful here's where most accidents occur
Two lanes narrow to one
(Spoken)
Corrado is something up there?
What is that darkness I see ahead?
Some kind of darkness I see ahead
(Spoken)
It's some kind of strange shadow
(Spoken)
I can't see what it is
(Spoken)
Look out!
(Spoken)
We're going into a spin!
(Spoken)
Grazia?
Oh my god, she's been thrown from the car!
Grazia!
Grazia where are you?
Grazia!
Centuries I've collected human souls
Never quite one like this
Never once have I
Paused before my icy kiss
Eons I performed my duties
I've encountered greater beauties
What restrains me now I wonder
Feeling her heart race
Stops my instinct to enfold her
In the great war not one soldier
Fell to me with quite the power of
Life within her veins
(Spoken)
Grazia? Are you alright?
Are you hurt?
(Spoken)
No, nothing happened, I'm fine
(Spoken)
Thank God. But don't you realize, my dear, you were thrown from the car?
(Spoken)
Yes, father, I must've been, but I am perfectly alright
(Spoken)
How is that possible?
(Spoken)
It's a wonder we weren't all killed
(Spoken)
But especially you
(Spoken)
Mama!
Get in the car
(Spoken)
I'm fine, because-
Nothing happened
But something happened
Yes there was something like a shadow
Not a shadow
But a shadow
That's right
Which we narrowly avoided
Yes we luckily avoided
Yes I recall the car was speeding
It was foggy
We were
Driving back
From Venetia to our home
Windswept
Thrilled to the core
Grateful for all our lucky stars
We'll be 'specially more thankful
To see the light of our drive
And arrive
Safe and sound
Thank goodness nothing happened
At our front door
At our front door
