Two worlds colliding in a smoky bar.
We stole a kiss we couldn’t fit together.  Three pieces were missing.
A dance.  A beer.   A ring.

We have each other.  We wept for days.
She’d lie.  In the  back seat. In my arms.
Cheating on midnight in Cheap Imitation Motel.

I fell in.  With a honky tonk angel.  Anybody’s baby.
Under new stars hurting like she would, I couldn’t leave her.
Smoking a cigarette. Later, rumors made the blue moon cry.

It was Happy’s last time before leaving this small town cafe.
Drinking the tears down with my coffee.  Runny eggs with ketchup.
Remember her note.  She left.  Goodbye.

Sorrow hold you. Before morning comes I’ll quit the Brewery.
Old turnpike. Drive down to Nashville. To find my clouds.
Goodbye blue and lonesome backstreet darling.

Lying in pieces. Remember?  Broken, you said.
In the valley chapel bells will ring for someone else, not for yesterday.
In love with one more younger affair. I’ll fall to.

Come running back again to me.
When love’s wander is gone. In memory.
It’s over now. Am I over you?  So sorry I think I wrecked your home.

Left apart but can’t forget. Can’t forgive.
We’re just hearts. We never talked in time. Now you’re gone.
Can’t cry too softly this far from the lights of the interstate.

Mood’s fallen rain. It’s been fun. Whistling.
‘cos you were.  ‘cos you’re not.
‘cos you weren’t It’s been fun. Whistling.
never mine.
