No Matter How Far..

Fallen pages lie sodden..
and that is where they'll lie.
he is bound and determined
No he won't give it a second try..
So he paces up and down his
lonely halls
The whole night long...
and tries to put out of his mind,.
The lyrics to that song..
The one that always, reminded him of her.

She stares into the mirror.
and thinks well, I still look good..
I wouldnt have him back again, no not .. even if I could...
She thinks, if I could just find one honest single hearted
man..
Then I can stop my search and that's where my journey will end.

He paces up and down the halls and she looks in the
mirror..
So certain if she could just go somewhere far away from here,
That she would finally meet the one that she was meant to
be with,
And maybe then all the pieces would finally fit.

But no matter how far you go... no matter how long you're
gone away,,,
Something in your heart brings you right back to where you were always
meant to stay.
She's been to Paris France.. to Italy, to Australia and
the UK
She's been to Vermont... and Hawaii only to find,
That there was no where
Far enough ..or pretty enough
To erase him from her mind...
She's travelled thousands of miles.and endured so many endless empty smiles,
Only to realize ..that you never really ever leave, .
The one you left behind.

So she gets on the next bus... to try and bring him back to HER..
And he hops on the next bus back to Nashville on a whim...
And then their eyes meet.. somewhere near Crossville
Tennessee...
It doesnt matter,,, where they've been. only thing
that matters is that now they see...
That no matter how far you choose to go..
Something inside their hearts had always known...
That two hearts meant to be together,
will always find their way home.
No you can't run from love...
No matter how far you roam.
Love will always find a way..
Find it's way back home.
