In 1976 I knew a young girl of 18 (I was only 19 myself) who lost her father to a heart attack and her mother to cancer both in the space of a year. That left her to look after her older sister who had mental health problems. A few months later she found out that she too had the same strain of cancer as her mother and had only a few months to live. We struck up a relationship (platonic) and I used to spend a lot of time with her. One day I bought Then there were three and as we listened to Undertow it took on real meaning for us. It was winter and the illness meant she couldn't sleep but one evening she said she wasn't frightened anymore. We'd said that when she was better we go out and visit different places with each other and then realised at the back at our minds there would be no tomorrow. The end of this story is told in the last two verses
