By a hit and run driver on the roadway
Somebody's darling left to die today
For one in her early twenties so young in years
Among her family and friends the shedding of tears
Crossing the roadway by the rural town
By a speeding motorist she was run down
The hit and run driver the police vow to find
The law has a dim view on her or his kind
She was one death did come to quite fast
Three hundred metres from her home she breathed her last
Her family in shock and disbelief
It will take years of time for to heal their grief
One who to her family and friends was dear
On the radio news of her death sad to hear
Though she is one who is a stranger to me
Such sad news does give rise to empathy
A long and a happy life should have been her due
But that death can come quite unexpected happens to be true
By a hit and run driver on the roadway
Somebody's darling she died today
