A Song in Pieces

I kept his words and he kept on asking what for For I can't keep losing things I know I won't find once more We may not make it here but baby, we might You can't say it's broken, no not at first sight It seems like an uphill lane, the road that a heart tends to roam And yet he walked up to me and told me this "this house ain't my home" There may not be much left but walls and a fence But you can't say its empty no not at first glance He packed his bags and he paid madam all that he owned Never looked back with his heart and his eyes on the road We may have miles to run, to look eye to eye But you can't say it's hopeless no not at first try Two years have passed since he took off and told me so long And too many days have passed wondering where we went wrong Skies might take long to clear but someday they might You can't see a rainfall no not at first light
