Lyrics
Greyhound Bus
A lonesome tree, an ugly strip mall
A church with a cross and a wedding hall
The sky just after a perfect storm
A kite that keeps flying, though it's pretty much torn
It's the view from the window of a greyhound bus
On a road that leads away from the two of us
I'm redefined - what's yours ain't mine
And my vision gets blurry past the county line
A row of houses all the same
A girl running fast down a street with no name
A detour sign, a freeway entrance
A hit and run stranded without a witness
I kept a diary of things
That I would tell you one day
Little ironies
I found along my way
Like when we said "forever"
In the pouring rain
Then meant it just as much
When we said, "never again."
A hitchhiker smilin' back
A penny smashed flat on a railroad track
An exit sign
With an "x" that's missin'
Dew drops that seem to glisten...
