A desk by the window is empty today
"Claire's not here Miss", I heard Charlotte say
The classroom is silent and no one knows why
Mrs Johnson is wiping the tears from her eyes
A door slowly opens
The Headmaster walks in
In his hand is a paper
His expression is grim
I have some sad news, I'm sorry to say
Claire will be missing from school today

John Preston was yearning for artistic success
He travelled the world but he failed to impress
Rejection, frustration and anger within
Destroyed the creations that were precious to him
He abandoned ambition
For a quieter life
In a Worcestershire village
With his children and wife
But demons of failure haunted his head
He'd fight with the gun, kept under his bed

The cottage was blazing; men broke down the door
The gun and John Preston were laid on the floor
His wife in her nightdress, at the foot of the stairs
His dog and son Stephen were slumped in a chair
And there in the back room
"Asleep" on her bed
An angel lies peaceful
With a hole in her head
"She sat by the window", I heard Charlotte say
Claire will be missing from school today
