Love On Track

She left her heart there, on the tracks, walked away, without a backwards glance. If love were true, then it'd come back. She left her heart there, on the tracks. Tied with ribbon of pale lilac, her letter of love, left to chance. She left her heart there, on the tracks. Walked away, without a backwards glance.
