The Road

She watches, and the road drives on He’s gone, yet the clock keeps ticking Only at that moment, does she smile He said it would pass, just like life You’ve got to live it No point dancing in the past Not with the looks of an angel He was full of , so was she The grass was long then With mountains that stole your innocence Miles from the watching eyes Where love lasted a whole day Regrets were hid away Seemed like yesterday Now she’s alone with him So respectable she almost cries For a marriage full of lies A pillar to all that died The mountains stood there Just for a moment Looking down on innocence She watches, and the road drives on He's gone, yet the clock keeps ticking.

Nobody spots you in the wilderness, guarded by mountains. Beats me why she married the rich guy.
