Johnny was tired of all of his roaming, he'd travelled the world he was ready to come home and settle down

He'd had his share of pain and tragedy, she offered comfort, it was fair to say she hadn't been around

And soon they were married and buying a home, like thousands of others they weren't alone

In struggling to realise their dreams

They wanted children it was part the plan to share in their love, the future looked grand

But you never know what's waiting around the next corner, you never know what's lurking behind every door

 Cause fate has a habit of twisting and turning, one minute your safe and warm, next your burning

 You never know what's waiting around the next corner

The years rolled by, the harder they tried, the doctors and drugs, still no child, the pressure so hard to bare

And there were no reasons but that didn't help, they started retreating to separate worlds

Though neither one knew

And he was so busy with study and work, and she started wondering if it was worthwhile keeping it going

           

  But you never know what's waiting around the next corner, you never know what's lurking behind every door

  Cause fate has a habit of twisting and turning, one minute your safe and warm, next your burning

  You never know what's waiting around every corner

 And she started work again and changing her life, and Johnny could feel that it just wasn't right

There were no words said, there were no fights, but soon she just didn't come home at nights any more

Then she was leaving for the very last time, she said it's over now don't try to find me, and she was gone

 The days dragged by, he tried to rebuild his life, he heard a rumour, it couldn't be right

She was expecting a child

A call in the night confirmed his worse fears, though he weren't the father, she had been with child

For most of that year

Nobody knows what happens inside when one love is strong, one love it dies

After the tears came the making of plans, adventure was calling from far away lands

Johnny was leaving home

But you never know what's waiting around the next corner, you never know what's lurking behind every door

 Cause fate has a habit of twisting and turning, one minute your safe and warm, next your burning

 You never know what's waiting around the next corner

You never know what's waiting behind the next door
