Fractured Dreams and Broken Hearts

Fractured dreams and broken hearts I watched her get onto the bus I stood there in the rain She was off to find her future I'd not see her again I watched them load her baggage Like so many times before This time I watched the bus leave And knew I'd not see her no more Fractured dreams, and broken hearts Together fourteen yeas The rain felt quite refreshing Only raindrops, no more tears Many times we'd played this game She'd leave and then come back If I had to give a number I'd lie, 'cause I've lost track She sat beside the window Looking down, then straight ahead She was leaving, not on her terms But this time, my choice instead Somewhere there's a waitress I'll find her soon and grab a drink A celebration bourbon At least two, I should think The bus went up the highway I turned around and walked away I took my phone out of my jacket Found the trash, tossed it away Fractured dreams and broken hearts I was tired of the game We'd fought and made up plenty It always ended up the same The bus, lost in the distance In the can, the phone did ring I laughed and sought that waitress and the joy that drink would bring Fractured dreams and broken hearts The future now was mine I know it was now over And it was by my design I found a bar and went on in Ordered up two shots, then three My past was on a greyhound My future, was up to me
