He is sure of his acts   This time he will make it right   Buys a ticket to the future   Only happiness in sight   Nothing is to stop him now   But as the bus is leaving town   He can see the houses crying over people he let down   Free from all the expectations   He is ready for a life   He is done with situations that brought trouble   Hate and strife   But he cannot forget the memories   The good times with his friends   He once did think he knew them   Until they broke down all his fences      In the town there's people hurting   People that can't understand   Why the son of life and gladness is moving to another land   There's no number they can call to   No addresses left to write   No goodbye hugs for children   No more kisses as goodnight   From the heavens i hear noises from the bottle counting tears   And a hundred men are writing songs and poetry of fears   Only time can heal a broken heart   I once heard a wise man say   But for the man who left his past   Will time just send him further away   Will he come back again
