Susanne

13,760 Feet--Living with TWA Flight 800

This song appeared in Airways magazine along with my
story "The Best--and Worst--Days of My Life" in September 2010. 

This song also supplements my story in CT newspapers "13 Years Later, he can finally tell the story of TWA 800" 7/17/2009

 

 

Written and recorded by: Mick James

This is a tribute to Susanne by one of her and my close friends.

Susanne – lyrics

She was born in Denmark
Destined for the world
Raised in New England
A simple down-home girl
So full of life
So full of hope
When the hand of fate closed

I knew so briefly
Two years, give or take
I grew to love her
Something in her way
So full of life
So full of hope
When the hand of fate closed

Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Where’s the truth that bears her name?
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Life will never be the same

Sweet as an angel
So deep and true
Trying for someone
That someone was you
To share her life
To share her hope
When the hand of fate closed

At last we caught certainty
She had become so happy
A newborn rising sun
Faded without warning
Who stole her life
Who stole her hope
Damn the hand of fate that closed

Where’s the justice for the innocent?
Where’s the truth that bears her name?
Where’s the justice for the innocent?
We will never be the same

But your memory remains
Your memory sustains
From Denmark to the Long Island sands
In memory, always, Susanne
