Life After Football

I couldn’t see a thing but I could hear destruction in the dark
Corrugated iron and timber rip and wrench my roof apart
As each tree fell it felt like the earth was trying to catch its breath
Tunnels of wind whipped through the hills and kicked the forest half to death
Everything was already falling it’s just falling faster now
The power lines frantic like cut snakes in the wind that brought them down
My shady lane was torn to shreds, a mess of dirty brown and green
I threw my bag over my head, headed where I said I’d try to be
Once in a lifetime you get days like these
There’s sure been a lot of once in a lifetimes lately
You rescued me on the main road up near the footy ground
Now I’m masked up and sanitised in a hotel in my hometown
The army established a post on Ballan-Daylesford Road
It was a couple days of hope til I knew if I still had a home
My hideout deep among the trees it had nearly flattened me
I still hear the wind whip through the clearing when I’m trying to fall asleep
The last few weeks the world felt fast what I’m learning to understand
If you tread water for so long your feet feel unstable on land
Once in a lifetime you get days like these
There’s sure been a lot of once in a lifetimes lately
Nobody thinks about life after football
Everyone swears they live in the future
I didn’t know we were moving the goalposts
Much less tearing them down forever
You told us we were invincible
You showed us you didn’t care
