Maria Solheim - The Man Who Left His Past lyrics

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
