The Man Who Left His Past - Maria Solheim

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 ag
